16 Belgrave Square | Oct 1, 1842
My dear Sir
I send you herewith a blade of the best damask steel manufactured by General Anosoff1 at Zlatoust in the Ural mountains, & which he begs to send to you as a proof of his admiration of your discoveries & of the value of your researches.
He sends me at the same time another sabre & a large carving knife & fork; the latter being now more useful to me than the former.
If you are home will you send today 2 or 3 lines addressed to General Anosoff thanking him for his present, as my friend and fellow Labourer in these distant parts the Count Keyserling2 sails tomorrow for Petersburg & will take my letters & enclosures[.]
Most truly Yours | Rod I. Murchison
