London
7 January 1852
My dear Sir
Very many thanks for all your kindness respecting the Colchester Roman remains. Most truly as I agree with you that 'any price you place' means no price.
I have marked off in the list (accompanying) which we should not wish to have, all the rest we should be glad of. Perhaps - as you have managed so well for us hitherto, - kindly you would further aid us by procuring the specimens, and having them sent, directed to me.
Museum of Practical Geology
Jermyn Street
London
If you would kindly let me know what the whole cost may be - a P.O. order shall be sent you for the amount.
Again returning you our best thanks, believe me
Very sincerely
H. T. De la Beche
