THE OWENS COLLEGE, MANCHESTER.

25 March 1881

Dear Sir

I am much gratified to hear a day or two since to hear from my ^colleague & friend D^r. Roscoe² that it would be agreeable to you to receive an invitation from the Council & Senate of this College to lecture to our Evening Students.

We are agreed in thinking that [2] the first named lecture suggested by you — on Island Life³ — would be most widely interesting.

You will have been informed of all necessary details by my colleague, I dare say. I may as well repeat, however, that the occasion is at close of our Evening Session, & the date Friday 29^th April. I send here— [3] with a copy of our Evening Class Syllabus for the current year, which you will find contains a report of last year's work.

I see I have forgotten in terms to convey the invitation of our Council & Senate. You will kindly understand that I write in [4] their names and on the conditions mentioned to you by D^r. Roscoe.

Very Sincerely Yours | J. G. Greenwood⁴ [signature]
