Editor’s NoteEditor’s Note3092To Francis Place28 April 1824 (Aet 76)

  • Q.S.P.
  • Wednesday Night
  • ½ past 11.

Dear Place.

100£ is nothing for such a purpose and from such a purse:2 if Burdett will give 500£, I will give 100£, If instead of 500£, his contribution were 1000£ say rather 2000£ the proportion would be rather more exact. I pg 438understand this to be for the building. If he gives no more than 100£ I'll give no more than 20£.
