Exeter, Aug. 24, 1877
My Dear Mr Downer:
I thank you for the pains you are taking.
I only suggest two changes: one to substitute a clause, embracing about the …[illegible]… number of words, for the printed clause embraced by me in brackets, + crossed out: and another …[illegible]… verbal alteration duly marked in the margins.
If this change can be made my intended meaning will better be expressed
Very truly,
Your obliged …[illegible]…
