Sir, 



It has been suggested to me that the Literary Society of Madras might 

 supply the plan of a book club on certain conditions. I take the liberty 

 of addressing you to make inquiries on. the subject, viz., whether the Li- 

 terary Society supplies the reading of books on the principle of most 

 book clubs, and on what terms. My being perfectly imacquainted with 

 the nature of the Literary Society of Madras, will, I trust, plead my ex= 

 cuse for troubling you with this question. 



I remain, 



Your most obedient servant^
