MS Mrs Caroline Fairclough/18¹

My dear Arthur
Since you are so good to Polly, here are the two chapters you missed come in pursuit of you. You see her lls have exhausted the printers’ whole stock which accounts for the odd appearance of the latter sheet

Please return them to me, instead of obeying
