Wants WK to undertake a new survey of the hill.
Wants WK to undertake a new survey of the hill.
Has found a fine terrace at Middleton Moor.
The measurements differ to a startling degree. Asks WK to engage the professional surveyor at Melrose to survey the heights again.
The surveyor’s report has left RC even more puzzled and he may have to give up the Eildons altogether.
Has discovered Mr Mitchell’s assistant added in 28′ erroneously, but that still leaves anomalies.
The measurements are looking better, but he would still like more checks made.
Has now authoratative datum for height of Hawick Railway above the sea.
Is about to send his manuscript to the printers, and asks for any late additions.
RC still wants some heights checked.
Thanks for the re-measurements. RC has found more interesting geology in Northumberland and County Durham.
Memorandum: Remarks on Mr Kemp’s table.
Has received measurements of alluvial terraces at Crawford.
Surprised to receive WK’s measurements from Teviotdale.
AS has come to Great Yarmouth to recuperate. If WK’s idea of the formation of the stone is correct he may find other examples.
Apologises for late acknowledgment of a specimen and two letters received in October. The fragments are now in the Museum.
RC’s rebuttal of claims that he had passed over WK’s part in the researches (Athenaeum, 23 September 1848, pp. 958–9).
A second attempt by RC to defend his conduct.
The bearer of the letter, Lady Scott Douglas, wishes to see the terraces at Galashiels if she can do so without exertion. Thomas Smibert’s visit has been delayed.
The Prize Committee of the RSSA would like a few more facts about WK’s method of economising on fuel for gas works.
Sorry to hear that WK is unable to visit.
