2pp., 4to. 18 lines of text. In bifolium. Good, on aged and creased paper, with strip of page to which the letter was attached adhering. Addressed, with red wax seal, on reverse of second leaf, to 'R. Balmanno Esqre. | 3 Middle Temple Lane Temple'. He begins: 'Having some communication last week with Mr. Charles Heath in the course of conversation he was regretting that he could not procure any proofs of plates engaraved by Mr. Raimbach - now as your Kindness gained me what I wished of his performance with an obliging offer of something more it occurred to me to solicit fom Mr. Heath a print you wanted & I ventur'd to promise him in exchange one of Mr. Raimbachs'. He is enclosing a note (not present), 'by which you will perceive the terms on which Mr. Heath wishes to treat'. He is sending Balmanno Heath's print, 'but whether you can in return for some invaluables (which it is in his power to procure) give him the extent of his wishes I know not'. Mitan's only aim in the matter is 'the mutual accomodation of both', and it will be 'equally agreeable' to Mitan if Balmanno deals with Heath himself.
