Sir,
I trust you will pardon me the liberty I take in addressing you but as I am leaving for India in a few weeks I am obliged to sell all my Books, Prints, medals, etc, and I thought that perhaps this old medal of Gentleman [?] Pitt might be of some interest to you price 5/=
I hope that you care for it sufficiently well to retain.
Again apologizing & asking the favour of a reply
I am, Sir,
Yours obediently
W. Harman
General Pitt-Rivers, F.R.S. 4 Grosvenor Gardens SW.
