Summary:
Because of health, CD will postpone coming to London until all drawings are finished.
Asks JdeCS, if he is able "with any honesty", to "purloin" for him a proof-sheet of Frederick Dixon’s plate with cirripedes [in Geology and fossils … of Sussex (1850)].
Requests statement of total owed to JdeCS as a guide to the future.
