My Dear Mary

In the [?] [?] of the weather there may be risk of taking cold by exposure to it. I had better continue here to arrange Papers that must require attention. [Mr Saumaurez?] wrote to Mr Arrowsmith proposing that he should take the duty at Islip and begin his [?] on the 13 Jany. I have a note today from him accepting by Invitation to the Rectory for a day or 2 on his arrival and in reply I invite him to arrive on the 12th to take his first Sunday on the 13th.
I hope the frost will have ended before the 12th. You had better not think of moving while the weather continues in its [?] severity. I had no memorandum of money advanced on [?] to poor [fellow?] nor do I remember to what time I paid him last but his Bill is in my Tin Box at Islip in a Packet labelled Paid Bills by next post Pray forward a large letter from Oxford for Mr Lawlor sealed properly with a silvered [wafer?] it is Mr Lawlor's Gas [?] which I should return to him immediately. It will be the size of a large sheet of foolscap.

Ever Your affect.

My dear Sir
I saw Miss Morland yesterday who has just finished a Copy in Lithography of one of my [Munich?] prints [(a Hare and Cat!)?] which on the stone looks quite beautiful. She borrowed the stone of [Moser?] at Rowney and Forster and it will be sent up to town from Abingdon this evening. She has taken great pains with it and is naturally anxious that the impressions shd be taken off in the best manner possible. I have therefore promised her to beg the favor of your assistance in superintending this matter, and requesting you to order the first proof copy that is taken off to be send to you for your examination and approbation before any more are taken off. On receiving your first lot the whole impression be got through as quickly as possible. I have just heard from Paris that the machine substituting the Paste Board for them is not likely to answer and that the one they have tried at [?] does not succeed as well as they could wish. Have you decided yet what to do with your Trilobites? Somebody told me lately (not yourself) that you have resolved to send them to Brogniart I have some misgiving that and have a question in some letter of yours by me that is unanswered if so pray refresh my memory. I hope you rec'd by Certificates for the Linnean and have done the needful. When you see Webster pray tell him I have heard from Mr Lambert stating he wd have his Arrears at the Society paid up immediately. Pray how go on the Casts at Chantreys. He promised me some specimens of his different marbles which were to come through you for my lectures. Pray refresh his memory the first time you see him and if it be at his house and at a leisure hour you will perhaps have the kindness to assist in breaking off and packing the Specimens of a proper size for cabinets.

Yours very Truly
W. Buckland
