It would appear that Hone, perhaps in the ordinary course of business, is terminating a relationship with Captain Harrower. For more on Harrower, see letter to Dowling, n. 2.

I have no other books on sale than those announced on the leaf annexed to the Trial. Perhaps under all circumstances it would be more [one word] to you to be supplied with the Times from some a person in your immediate vicinity.

I have the honour to be Sir Your most obedient Ser't W Hone
