Peckham, Surrey - Thanks WW for £2.2.D 'to be redeemed by copies of my Hermesianax. JB describes his printing difficulties and his weak financial position. He gives a brief outline of the origin of WW's name: 'which is a very rare one, & mispronounced by all South-county men. It is a corruption of WHEELFELL, a place between the rivers North Tyne & Read'.
