| Description | Discusses revision of “narrative” text, including deleting an opinion about a provision depot being unnecessary, to ensure that Barrow should not, in the future, use this to deny Parry or another explorer such a depot. Some text altered on advice from Beaufort. Forwards a card from Garry and a request for Richardson to spare some seeds for a lady. Asks Richardson about a title; sends copy of Murray’s advertisement to asssist in drawing it up; will refer outline to Beaufort and Tinney. Gives details of preparation for printing. Will ask Murray to publish the book by early June. Will get Nicholson’s name shown as subscriber for Back’s pictures. Has seen The Rev Mr Harker and The Rev Mr Staines of Rochester or Chatham at Parry’s. Had a nice meeting at Bible Society, at which he was tempted to speak. Not seen Back since his return: expects Back will make contact.
