From Edward Charlesworth   21 July 1859

York

21 July 1859?

My dear Sir

I have at length sent off your Fossils— They will be forwarded by Mr George from Bury, and you will find the series include every genus new-Found in the list— I hope you may be able to send us some new Members, as I should very much regret the having to give up the Collecting Station—

Many new and interesting things have come to light, and doubtless more will follow if we can go on another 6 or 12 months— The present no. of Sub. rs is 140, but I hope to see the Society include 1000 Subs before another year is over—

I am almost fagged to death with the labor of preparing the specimens and packing the Collections— Please give the boxes to the care of George Ransome unless you prefer keeping them at the cost if 3/- (postage stamps)— Your share of Car. to Bury is 3 d

Yours dear Sir | very truly | Edw Charlesworth
