My Dear Sir
I cannot find any of my Chalk or Gault policipes any where. Can you help me to find them? I have no recollection about them whatever excepting that you figured some of them.1 If you returned them, how did you return them? To me direct or did you send them to the Geo. Soc?2
I shall be much obliged if you can enlighten me on the subject.
Most truly Yours | J. S. Bowerbank
