My dear Sir

I have a letter from Prof Ramsay stating that you wish to read my address to the Lpool Geo Soc. on Geol. Time.—1

The publication of it has been delayed and I am only now correcting the proofs. It will be out shortly and I shall have much pleasure in presenting you with a copy2

In the mean time | I remain dear Sir | Yours faithfully | T. Mellard Reade

Chas Darwin Esq
