Autograph Letter Signed ('J Nichols') from the printer John Nichols, editor of the 'Gentleman's Magazine', to an unnamed male recipient.

1p., 12mo. 21 lines. On aged paper, with remains of grey paper mount adhering to the reverse, and short closed tears to top and bottom right-hand corners, the latter through the signature. Nichols writes that he 'forgot the Principal Thing' he meant to say on putting 'the hasty Letter [...] in Mr Parcel', which is to thank him 'for the Offer of Mr Carte's Letters'. He will 'certainly make an opportunity of introducing from them any Extracts' that his recipient will 'point out', or, if he will lend him the volume, it will be 'carefully returned'. The number of pages the extracts may take up, 'more or less, is of no Consquence'. He ends by asking him to 'Pardon this Postscript to my former Letter'.
