From Lionel Smith Beale 9 February 1866

Feby 9th 1866
My dear Sir
I send you the numbers you wish to see— Please keep them as long as you like & then let me have them back—1
I fear the notion will hardly be intelligible without what has preceded I enclose a list of the journals in which other papers were printed but the whole will be republished2—though I fear not for some time as I have much work of another kind to get through—3
If you should be in London with an evening to spare I should be glad to tell you my conclusions & the facts on which they rest in few words or if you are disengaged some Sunday afternoon I would come down to you with pleasure if you will allow me—4
It is useless asking you to read what I have written as there is very much & distributed in many difft journals
Yours Faithfully | Lionel S Beale
