As things stand I know of no other method than that of

Mare not long ago at Tattersal's for £7-1s-0 - which
he sold afterwards for £ 25 Guineas. You seem desirous
to leave the matter to me: this therefore is the
course I propose to take if I hear nothing from
you to the contrary. I will as soon as it suits Mr

price, will endeavour likewise to take the benefit of
Mr Barret's judgment.
