My dear Sir,
I have just found Mortillets1 pamphlet2 explaining his map of glaciers of N. Italy. He seems to have sent it to me long after his map.3
Would it now be of any use to you? Have you published anything about glacial erosion—somebody told me there was a letter of yours in the newspaper on the subject?4

Mortillets: see letter 1929, n. 1.
pamphlet: see letter 1929, n. 2.
He seems to have sent it to me long after his map: see letter 1929.
a letter of yours in the newspaper on the subject?: possibly J. Tyndall, ‘An Alpine Observation’, Times, 22 October 1861, p. 10, which discussed the sliding of ice.
