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.
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.
