Reference number: RR/6/106
Date: 30 October 1867
Description
Had sent some rough, but faithful, sketches along with the paper, which have been passed to the lithographer Williams, who has turned them into plates. Has to explain the necessity for careful figures from the specimens, not the sketches used by mistake.
