Letter to J.W. Robberds, 1831 December 27.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53795308

Barker discusses adding the "Supplement" to Webster at the trade price to the librarian of an unnamed city's library as well as "Boucher's Glossary" which has "more merit" than Webster. He notes that a new "Angler's Magazine" will be a good library addition. He briefly mentions a Mr. Fearn presenting two treatises to Robberd's library and is pleased that a local borough will still retain two seats. Barker also requests that Robberds send him any archaic or provincial words and thanks him for his note on "bithmays." asking him if it appears on an old map of Norwich.
