Woodton Hall | Bungay | March 7, 38
My Dear Sir,
Will you be so good as to lay the accompanying Tract2 on the Table of the Royal Institution[.]
Normal occupations are a little undervalued by Philosophers; but I know no more powerful means of effecting a great good than by the appropriation of small pieces of ground as Gardens[.] The subject is one which may not have fallen in your way; and your time is too valuable to allow of much divergence[.] I wish however you would glance at the last 3 1/2 pages of my little pamphlet from the middle of Page 133.
Might I ask you whether the cause has been completely made out, of the corroding power which sea waters have on lead, and where is the best account of this? A single line to care of Mr Thos Gregory4 London Inst. Moorfields on this subject, will oblige me.
Ever Yours truly | J. Yelloly
