From Dr J. Goodall   7 November 1827

My dear Sir,

Our friend Dr Leach, whom I found so far recovered, as to be able to dine with me at home, entrusted to my care the accompanying parcel, which did not arrive in England till the middle of October with sundry articles which I bought in Italy.

This is the first opportunity which I have had of forwarding it to you–

With best regards and every good wish to you and yours believe me to be|my dear Sir |yrs most faithfully |J Goodall

Lodge Eton Coll Nov. 7. 1827

With the exception of occasional over eagerness Leach is himself again. He is as ardent as ever in his study of Natural History. He is at present at Ariccia.
