From George Johnston 12 October 1832

Dr. Sir,

I beg your acceptance of the enclosed copy of a paper of mine on Zoophytes - & I have taken the liberty of transmitting thro' you a copy of it for the Rev. L. Jenyns, who, if I am not misinformed, lives in your neighbourhood. I have been induced to offer it to this gentleman as a mark of the gratitude I derived from his writings in the Camb. Phil. Trans. & I trust he may pardon my intrusion. I am with great respect

Yours sincerely

Geo. Johnston
