| Description | (Annexed is an account of goods sent off from Soho, 16-23 May.)
Sir,
I had the pleasure of writing to you the 16th instant. The present shews you an account of the sales this last week.
On Saturday last the following persons visited Soho: Lord and Lady Villiers with some gentlemen; Lord Abergavenny with some gentlemen and ladies. Both were disapointed in seeing so little in the shew rooms. I conducted them over the Manufactory; they saw the engine at work and express'd satisfaction.
Mr. Legge was here and enquir'd when you would be at home; he wants to see you.
No body else of any particular note hath arrived.
I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant,
John Hodges
