Sir,

I cannot at this moment inform you on what day the Trial of the informations agt you will take place,Hone had inquired about the date of his forthcoming trials and about the order in which Shepherd planned to take the three parodies. [return] as no appointment of special Jury [one word illegible] has as yet been made at Guildhall. I have sent to the Solicitor Mr [Gurney?] to make inquiries upon that subject, I think these cases will be tried on Friday, but certainly not sooner than Thursday. I will direct immediate information to be sent to you as soon as the day is fix'd, I think I shall first try the Information for the Catechism.

I am, Sir, Your ob'd't Servant S. Shepherd Monday, Dec'r. 15

Mr. Hone
