On Saturday I received the following note from Elmsly
Sr
I should be much obliged to you would you be kind
enough to ask the Translators of the White Bull if they will
amuse themselves with turning over a very pretty French
Roman Historique of Marmontel's into a very pretty
English Historical Novel — Mr Murphy having done
Belisaire, I should like the Incas to be done as well
and would pay accordingly
I am Sir
Your most humble Servt.
