From John Phillips   7 July 1855

My dear Henslow

I did send you the List of the Committee (re typorum) viz Henslow, Phillips, Jardine, Babington (E Forbes), Balfour, Owen Hooker, Bowerbank, Berkeley, Johnston (Berwick), Huxley, Lankester. (£10. at dispatch of first-named. I very much wish to send suggestions, but we are just lifting masts & setting sail for the Puy de Dôme, 3 weeks abroad, & I really can not settle my mind to any thing else at present— It is quite in my mind to do so. Indeed it is necessary to do so. Perhaps we could meet at Glasgow in a Committee?

Ever yours truly | John Phillips
