2pp., 12mo. 22 lines. Watermark: 'J GREEN | 1820'. Bifolium, with the reverse of the second leaf addressed by Terry to 'T Winstanley Esq'. Fair, on aged and lightly-creased paper, with closed tear to top half of fold. The letter begins: 'For God's sake - for the sake of auld lang syne - dine with me to-morrow.' He asks Winstanley to overlook his 'long silence & apparent neglect', it having been 'busy world [sic]' with them both since they last communicated. He assures him that he is 'the same as ever in affection & respect'. He invites Winstanley to 'a little family feast devoted to the forgetfulness of imaginary offences & the renewal of a long-broken but I trust, a deceased friendship [sic]'. His wife 'Bess' will 'rejoice to see' Winstanley, whom he urges: 'Do not hesitate - to come & forgive' In a postscript he asks Winstanley to 'come & shake hands' when he leaves 'Oxenhams' [Samuel Oxenham, Oxford Street auctioneer].
