Cambridge
10 November 1833
Dear Whitley,
An intimate friend of mine J. W. Barnes is candidate for the Head mastership of Durham & thinks it possible that you may be able to speak a word for him. I can most conscientiously recommend him as a person well qualified for the office & one whom you will find a pleasant companion– In short I recommend him most earnestly to you as one likely to add to your society– I have lately received 4 casks from Darwin of various objects in Nat. Hist.–
Y rs ever truly | J S Henslow
