Ipswich
5 June 1848
My dear friend,
Canst thou tell me the names of the most eminent Naturalists who rose from the working classes – that I may read the accounts to bring forward in evidence what this class can do – to encourage others in their studies– I have the life of Wilson & Crowther
Sir H Austin paid a visit to the Museum this morning & seemd much pleased with our progress
In haste
Thine very truly
James Ransome
