Asks WK to send the new measurements of the Eildon terraces. RC has found terraces in Fife.
The bearer of the letter, Thomas Smibert, is a friend of RC and his brother, William Chambers. RC would like WK to show him the raised beaches.
The Glenroy terraces match WK’s measurements of the terraces on the Tweed.
Would like to spend the following Tuesday reviewing the Eildon terraces with WK.
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.
When AS visited WK forgot to show him an interestingly marked specimen.
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.
