Dear Sir

I have been lecturing in Canada all last winter, and only arrived in England last week—

My purpose is to direct some attention to a great truth which seems to have been hitherto overlooked by the Scientific and Philosophic world; consequently, I naturally wish much to consult with a few men who are the most distinguished for their scientific attainments, before I begin to publish my ideas in England by lecturing or otherwise.¹ Would you kindly mention time and place that I could see you— If I could meet any of your friends at the same time, it would of course be so much the better—

Faithfully your’s | Henry Wentworth Monk
