My Dear Lord,

I am very anxious that our business transactions should occur frequently, and that they should be settled immediately; for short accounts are favourable to long friendships.

I restore ‘The Giaour’ to your Lordship entirely, and for it, the ‘Bride of Abydos,’ and the miscellaneous poems intended to fill up the volume of the small edition, I beg leave to offer you the sum of One Thousand Guineas; and I shall be happy if you perceive that my estimation of your talents in my character of a man of business is not much under my admiration of them as a man.

I do most heartily accept the offer of your portrait, as

Your Lordship’s faithful Servant.
John Murray.
