Transcript of note

Tho[ma]s Mott, the author of the above, was a correspondent of mine in early life; but of his letters I appear to have preserved none. He was clerk to Ja[me]s Sayers at Yarmouth, & afterwards practised as an attorney at Cambridge, where he brought a sad career to a premature end. We made a tour to Derbyshire together in 1795. He was a man of quick talents, with considerable taste for poetry, & still more for drawing Caricatures.

D.T. Mar. 6. 1840.
