Letter: From Joseph Wolff, vicar of Isle Brewery, Langport, Somerset to unknown recipient. Regards payment for his board and lodgings and an advertisement for his lectures on his travels across Eastern Europe and Asia.

2 October 1848

From: 1848 To: 1848

Reads: “As your place is a small agricultural place, I am ready to come for the compensation you mention on any Wednesday or Thursday evenings, you would be inclined to mention but wherever I delivered my lectures I was [?] that time entertained by one of the members in his house, so that I had nothing to pay for lodging and board, and you will perceive the reasonability of this, as there would be very little remains if I had to pay for board and lodging of course those 8 pounds are exclusive of all expenses for room, advertisements and tickets which the [?] will perceive and with which I have nothing to do – I myself will give notice of my book, in case that you kindly agree to these prints you may advertise as [?] Reverend Doctor Wolff, chaplain to Lord Viscount Lorton and vicar of Isle Brewery near Langport will deliver 2 lectures in the Mechanics Institute at [?] on his travels from Malta to Alexandria, [?], Constantinople, Angora, Tokat, [?]. Persia, [?], Bokhara, Balkh, Cabal, Lahore [?] in the years 1830, 1831, 1832 and 1833 for the purpose of discovering the ten [?] tribes of Israel and on his second journey to Bokhara to ascertain the fate of Colonel Stoddart [?] and Captain Conolly, in the years 1843. 1844 and 1845. You may make any alterations you please in the advertisement, please to let me soon know your answer.”
