"I have the tract after which you enquire but it happens unluckily that all my books are at present in the most complete confusion and many stand upon chests & boxes in the act of being removed to a new library. . . . [I]f you will let me know how to address either you or Arch Deacon Wrangham about the month of July I will keep a memorandum for the purpose of transmitting the title page in question as I shall by that time have made a complete catalogue of my books and put them into order again."
