My dear Sir
Knowing your liking for Etymological speculations I enclose a little theory of our neighbour Granville Penn (of Geological Scriptural note) 1 who thus amuses his downhill of life. 2 It strikes me as a good hit.
I waited till the 14th was come and gone before I sent in my Photographic paper 3 to the RS as soon as it is printed I shall send you a copy unless you would like to see the sheets as they are revised in wh case I will cause revises to be sent you and will gladly alter any expression you may disapprove.
Yours very truly
