46 - [1749]. Cleland to Ralph Griffiths
Bodleian Library, MS. Add. c.89 f. 29. Unsigned autograph letter on note-sized paper. The verso of the note is badly faded – hence the conjectural readings in angle brackets. At the foot of the verso, Griffiths has written, ‘The above was received from Mr. Cleland, in 1749’.
