Oct October 9th / 50 1850 – My dear Sir

Will you see if there has been any mistake about address – &c. I think not – As I have been very careful in that matter – & the printers have sent to me here for some time.

I shall be in Scotland a few weeks longer & then shall settle for London for the winter – & for novel No Number – 3 –

Believe me dear Sir very sincerely yours DMMulock –

I am now & shall be for sometime at Allan Park Paton’s Esq Pmalder Cottage Greenock –
