June, current, rendered to Mr. Probert Cox". He asks for payment to be made to Messrs Coutts, "so that it may be at my command here". He also requests the making up in a parcel of "a copy of my Testimonials & 'the Suppressed Documents', if you have one". The parcel should be sent to "Messrs.

The Professor told me that they will forward all books for him."
