To James Scott Bowerbank 5 January 1849

My dear Sir,

On seeing Mr Ransome today I find I have been making a great blunder in your address. I wrote to you soon after my return home inclosing a letter to Deck (for your inspection) - about the Beaver's bones - and also stating that I had forwarded my London clay Turtle to the College of Surgeons & I wrote a few days ago saying I was to be in town on Monday week & mentioning when I would be able to call if it suited your engagements. My letters have been directed to Park Terrace for by some error I have had that address to your name in my pocket for some time past. I suppose you have not received either of my letters. If you will say so, I will rewrite the contents (on my return home tomorrow) from Hitcham Hadleigh Suffolk.

Yrs ever sincerely

J. S. Henslow
