Summary: Copy letter which may be incomplete. Had an appointment with Mr Lamplough yesterday and showed him the things. He already has a copy of the silk picture of Wesley but doesn't have the sketch picture. Thinks £1 a fair price for both. Also offers £2 for Sutcliff's 'Life of Coke'. After careful comparison of the journal with a number of Coke's letters have reluctantly come to the conclusion that it is a copy. Gives examples of differences in handwriting. Printed (albeit extracts) of Coke's journals are also fuller than the manuscript. Had hoped it was the original but would still like to study this copy.
