| Description | ‘The subject of the subscription in aid of Mr Wilberforce’s Canvas came before me at a time when I was too ill to consider it with any degree of attention; but my disorder having now given me a little respite I am sensible that in requesting you to subscribe £20 in my name I acted inconsiderately; you will therefore oblige me by augmenting my Subscription to Fifty Guineas… If practicable I shou’d wish you to get the first sum erased & the latter substituted without delay.’ |
