Black, Parbury & Allen were publishers of the Asiatic Journal and other publications focusing on British interests in India. For reasons perfectly obvious, this letter is written on the verso of a letter from John Borthwick Gilchrist asking Hone to collect 50 copies of his pamphlet for resale in his shop. [return] At the request of D. Gilchrist I hand you the enclosed Letter agreeably to which please to deliver 50 Copies of his Pamphlet on Reform and say in writing the retail Trade Price—he having fixed the Selling Price at 4/6—
