From Richard Dawes October 12 1855

Hereford

My dear Henslow

Your lecture to M r Lovechild & M r Shrillchild & the whole tribe of fault-finders has taken so much with my friends that you must send me half a dozen or more copies: [illeg.] Miss Frank’s carrier off yesterday into Hertfordshire:

We had M r & M rs Bentham here about a week week ago—great friends of D r Hooker to whom I gave an account of your doings in the way of address to the mothers [illeg.]: are you not directing something to be set up from Playfairs at Marlboro House. What is it:

I think I sent you a notice of some lectures which a very clever schoolmaster in Hereford whom I am interested in is about to print merely to show you we are not idle:

With kind regards to you & yours

Believe me | my dear Henslow | very sincerely yours |Richd Dawes
