To Unknown 6 February 1847

My dear Sir,

In naming to you the necessity I am under of reducing certain superfluities in expenditure, I quite forgot to ask you whether I was in your debt both for Nos. of the Journal & of your own work. I should wish to continue the latter still - perhaps the day may arrive when I shall ask for back Nos. of the Journal - but at present it must be as I said. I have had 5 good copper celts from the cutting at Stowmarket where they fell in with a deep bog which puzzled the engineers for some time - & swallowed up sundry £.sd before they could master it. I hope to be in town about the 1st week in March, & less harrassed than I have been on the 3 last & late occasions. Wire tells me he has started as a bookseller.

Ever Yrs truly

J. S. Henslow
