Interested in RM's statements on various subjects, including gold diggings and the 'declension of California Produce.'[?]
Cannot introduce a Mr. Grant to overly 'pressed' Mint assayers. Will help Grant as far as possible, but returns 'excellent' testimonials, having no part in 'manning' possible Australian mint.
Gives RM a letter from Charles Bell [see Bell's 1851-10-28] on a geological map and collection prepared by Andrew Bain. Suggests the British Museum might wish to purchase Bain's collection of fossils.
