From Leonard Horner   12 October 1834

My Dear Sir,

The day after I had the pleasure of seeing you at D ^r Hooker’s, (when we were speaking of your intended Mechanic’s Institution at Cambridge) I wrote to Edinburgh for the Reports of the School of Arts. I got them two days afterwards, & forwarded the parcel to D ^r Hooker’s, but I was sorry to learn from him that you had left him before he received it. I could not find an opportunity in Glasgow of sending it free to London, so I brought it here, & mean to ask Oliver & Boyd the Booksellers to forward it. I have put it in an envelope directed to M ^r Lonsdale at the Geological Society requesting him to forward it to you by the first opportunity.

I am My Dear Sir | Your’s very faithfully | Leonard Horner
