From W. H. Miller   9 December 1858

My dear Henslow,

Mess ^s Williams and Norgate 14 Henrietta Street Covent Garden, have at last sent me Dauber’s models of Crystals. I have the larger series, consisting of 80 models, in a tray-like box having a sliding lid. They cost 11 thalers or 33 shillings at the original depot the ‘Schulbuchhandlung Braunschweig’. The carriage in Germany amounted to 2 ^s, and the duty and carriage &c in England to 8 ^s, making the collection £2:3 ^s. The cost of the smaller collection consisting of 50 models at the ‘Schulbuchhandlung’ is 8 thalers or 24 shillings, the expenses of carriage duty &c would I presume be the same as for the larger collection, at least very nearly the same.

I have put up half of my American clips for you. The cost of those which I have destined for you was 4 ^s.

Very truly yours | W. H. Miller
