From William Buckland   6 July 1830

My Dear Sir

I beg to acknowledge with many thanks your kind Present of incrustations &c rec’d by the Cambridge Coach last Week whilst I was in Oxford & together with my thanks I now beg to forward to you an uncoloured sheet of Greenough’s Map of the Eastern Counties requesting you to have the kindness to correct the Errors & Omissions you were mentioning the other day particularly the small Portions of Chalk & to return the Map with your Corrections to Mr Greenough at the Geological Society.

I saw Mr Greenough yesterday & informed him of your kind offer for which he feels exceedingly obliged as he is now busily occupied in preparing a new Edition of the Map. He will be further obliged by your communicating your Corrections to Him as soon as possible.

You are probably aware of the enormous insulated masses of Chalk that lie in the Gravel on the Coast at Cromer– have you noticed anything of this kind in Suffolk or Essex?

Mrs Buckland who is with me in London unites in kind regards to Mrs Henslow

With my Dear Sir| yours very truly | W. Buckland
