From Joseph Prestwich   21 June 1858

21 June 1858

My dear Sir,

I am glad to hear you were pleased with the Herne Bay Cliffs & only regret you could not get a good collection to compare with your Chislet specimens. They require care but are to be had, especially in the same bed nearer Herne Bay where it comes lower down to the shore, as I mentioned to you—

I have just ret. d from Devonshire & hope to leave in a week for the Continent—

If you go to Chichester, the sand pit, I told you, is 4 miles distant & close by the Waterbeach entrance to Goodwood-Run is an inn there & the Boots or ostler there would show it to you. It is in a little coppice nearly opposite—

Yours very sincerely | J. Prestwich

[P.S.] The fossils at Beach Waterbeach are still more friable than at Herne Bay
