My dear Sir,
I forgot, when I wrote, that another packet of duplicates was on its travels, & have not been returned - so I have at present only this smaller one for your two daughters' examination. They are quite welcome to the whole of it - if the specimens would be of use to them - or if there are any they care not to receive they may be returned to me for the chance of their being useful somewhere else. The packet may in this case be addressed
Rev J. S. Henslow

Bloomsbury
My two aunts (very old ladies) are lodging there & will take care of it for me. I am obliged to hurry back to the opening of the Ipswich Mus. on Wednesday - where I hope to find Bp. of Norwich, Sedgwick, Buckland, & some more naturalists taking part in the proceedings. Many thanks for the notice of Grimwood - the last soldiering commission sent to you. With kind regards to the Mrs Sulivan
believe me
Ever truly Yrs
J. S. Henslow
