From Charles Roach Smith   15 March 1856

15 March 1856

My dear Sir

A young friend of mine in Kent has brought me a wasp’s nest built upon a bough. It may probably be acceptable to some one of the institutions with which you are connected. If so, it will be given as you may recommend.

M. r Dawson Turner & I were talking of you yesterday. He desires me to say he should be happy to see you at Old Brompton whenever you may be on a visit to London.

The Faussett volume is almost completed, I am rejoiced to say.

The medical men advise me to leave London; and I am seriously contemplating taking their advice, which accords entirely with my own feelings.

Believe me, | my dear Sir, | yours very truly, | C. Roach Smith
