Dear Sir,

I fear you will have almost despaired of hearing from me but I have not been unmindful of my promise. I went to my friend Mr Godfrey Bingley² & secured his cooperation & then influenza intervened for about 3 weeks. I have been away for another 3 weeks at Whitby, which has restored me to my normal condition. [2] I now enclose 9 prints kindly prepared for you by Mr Bingley.

I have pencilled on the back of some a few supplementary remarks & trust that you will find them sufficiently explicit for your purpose.

The photograph of the glacial stride at Shap is not as striking an illustration as I should desire so I have hunted out a negative which I took at Barmouth 5 years ago & will get you a print of it in a day or two. It exhibits the finest glacial grooves I have [3] ever seen, transcending even the best to be seen in any part of the Alps that I have visited.

I will send at the same time a print of the gorge now partially exposed at the foot of the Gormer glacier, as well as the promised map of the distribution of English & Welsh glaciers.

I should like you to insert a few words of recognition of Mr Bingley's assistance if you make use of his pictures. It is his reward for much valuable & unselfish labour.

Yours faithfully | Percy B Kendall [signature]³
