My dear Sir, —

I have unfortunately neither copy nor book; but ThorntonThe context of Hunt's note is not clear; given the date, it would seem likely that Hone is seeking some particular printed text for inclusion in the Every-Day Book. "Thornton" is Hunt's oldest son. [return] is going to Burlington Street this evening, or the first thing tomorrow-morng, and if I can procure either a copy of the forthcoming number, or the sheet on which the article is printed, you shall have it tomorrow before 12 o'clock, to give it a chance of insertion .

I am sorry for your sigh-at-ica; but I thought exercise was the best thing for that sort of hyp.- I hope to get at you, at all events, before long.

Very truly your's, Leigh Hunt Nov. 28. 1825.

[Address:] Mr. Hone, Ludgate Hill
