To the Dean of Carlisle
Grosvenor Street

Dear Robert

Let me trouble you for 2 lines directed to Canterbury to tell me when you migrate northwards. It is only on the last day of my stay prolonged to make enquiries for my son Brian as to his projected publication that I hear he has been corresponding with you and under very reasonable dread of his drawings and specimens being unfairly dealt with has given you power to remove them - this particularly if Mr. Bennett's illness should terminate fatally - every body agrees to be the first and most essential step and if you do not yourself seal them and place them in safe custody I shall have to beg your authority to this end for the present adieu
V[er]y Affect[ionate]ly
William Hodgson

[C- Latymer} 20 May [18--]

I shall stop a day or two in London passing through but not under 2 or 3 weeks
