To Lovell Augustus Reeve [before 14 March 1849]1
I have heard an account with what uncommon zeal you have pursued natural history and on this ground I shall be happy to append my signature to your paper, and to wish you all success.2 I hope for the honour of that Society your being in the publishing trade cannot be the smallest objection to you.
