My dear Sir,

Miss Morland has this morning sent me some copies of her attempt to imitate the [Munich Game Piece?] It has all the spirit of the original but looks cold for want of a neutral tint. [Hole] I know is applied at Munich can you tell me whether it is laid on the paper before printing or after? if after do you know of what material it is composed. In short what is the Receipt for the wash, of to whom can they be sent to be properly tinted. My notion is that at Munich they generally tint them after printing, if so the same thing may be done in London to Miss Morland's but if it is necessary to tint the paper before printing it will be desirable to request Miss Morland's stone not be rubbed down till further orders and you will oblige me by sending a line to this effect to the printers.
Lord Compton informed me last week of your wishes to subscribe to Milles work of wh. I expect shortly to hear more I desired him to show you the Prospectus which is written by W Conybeare and which I hope you like - I am much obliged by your assistance in the [nomination?] of [Condier?] pray when I am to hear the result of my own nomination at the Linnean - if Strangeways is elected before April 1 have the goodness to desire notice to be sent to him at Earl of Ilchester, Melbury near Sherborne Dorset or at 31 Old Burlington St that he may have his [Hole} before he goes to [Missing paper] [Seale?] is now in Oxford and I think likely after another year to reside within 5 miles of this place.

My dear Buckland

You will find a figure (not a good one) of Artemisus in Rackett's paper in Lim Trans. under the name of [Cancer?] Sehiris I think. Rackett gives it's history from the Lymington Salt-pans but if I recollect right though he observed that the Brine-worms live in such a salt medium as no other animal endures he says nothing of their mode of reproducing the species. I can't find the "flins"

In haste

Ever yours

Monsieur,
J’ai reç les objets que vous m’avez adressés et je m’occupe dans ce moment de l’execution des figures demandees dans votre letter avec laquelle vous m’avez honorez.
Je dois vous dire que Monsieur Agassiz avant de partir m’a prie de dessiner pour Monsieur Lyell les figures en grande parti semblables à celles que vous demandez, et il m’a dit que les figures devraient faire partie d’un [chapiter?] que Monsieur Lyell avaid deja ecrit avec l’aide de lui. Mr. Agassiz les esquisses pour ces dessins avaient été deja traces par Monsieur Agassiz lui même et leurs endroits marques. Il ne me reste que l’execution des dessins sur le bois Il me paroit ainsi de votre letter que je ferai les mêmes dessins pour deux ouvrages differents.
Je vous écris cette observation et si vous voudriez bien avoir la bonté de ecrire à Monsieur Agassiz il vous saura certainement mieux expliquer cette affaire
J’ai l’honneur de vous representer les considerations les plus parfaits avec lequelles je suis
Monsieur
Votre tres humble et trés obeisant serosteur

My dear Sir
Thank you for your last kind letter, I am very glad to hear your voyage proceeds so [propiciously?] and that you have had such pleasant companions - it was very provoking to miss of the Giant's Causeway, but I hope a fair voyage to Staffa may compensate in some measure for your disappointment, I congratulate you on your satisfactory visit to Arran I have no doubt your researches will throw much light on those perplexing trap rocks, though Dr Shuttleworth may say what he please of Isap being understood by most Professors its history appears to me very little known by any of them. Dr McCullochs account of Arran is not at all intelligible - I should think the S.E of Sky will prove very interesting is it not there that a Isap Dyke converts some of the Lias into Marble as on the C. of [Ireland?] I wish I had any entertaining matter to communicate to you but I have only everyday occurrences to detail - My dear father is returned from his journeys in high health and, I trust he will continue to be free from gout - I have not heard from Miss Ayling and I begin to be astonished at her silence, but I am known so wonderfully patient under the influence of my watchword "[?] tranquille" that I seldom permit myself to fidgit, tho' Nature certainly did not make me a stoic. I hope you will meet with no greater dangers than occur from the [?] [?] and that your Trap hunting will not lead you into unnecessary risks, if I don't hear from you at no very distant intervals, I shall fancy in spite of "[?] tranquille" that you have tumbled over a Gneiss Precipice, or that a huge [?] has swallowed you or a thousand other terrible disasters. Your last letter was an unexpected pleasure to me, for I did not think to hear quite so soon - I hope I may often have such agreeable surprises. I have found a rare and very pretty shell in the Coppice and my Collection of fresh-water shells comes on very well it is surprising how much thicker a shell becomes when the animal dies in it and it is gradually dried up by the sun and air - I find that the animals inhabiting the shells contain, apparently dispersed over their bodies very minute grains of lime and very pure Carbonate I should imagine, from their [efficasing] so violently with acids. In some the larger grains of lime are as large as a small pin's head will [?] [torn paper] this account for the Shell becoming nearly [Paper missing] twice as thick under the circumstances I have mentioned and I think this may be the reason why many fossil shells which appear to have been originally very fragile are still so well preserved. I have had a present of two tame Plovers and a Curlew. Alas! I found my pretty Curlew lying dead yesterday morning - he was so tame as to eat from my hand and was very handsome with the brightest eyes I ever saw. John Hughes and his wife are staying here Mrs H is a particularly nice woman, very clever and intelligent you would like her very much - I am profitting by Mr Hughes' instructions in sketching and I mean to surprise you by my performances in that way. Mrs [Wraughton?] has just sent me a large ugly Yucca to paint for her - I do not like the employment at all - you had some difficulty in getting your Church [?] when you were here last - if you want any person now, there is a Mr Thomas of [Painbeck?] a gentlemanlike small man who dined here the other day and who I believe is unemployed. I hope a letter from you is now on the road if not pray write when you can that you may return in good health and safely is the constant prayer of
Yrs ever most Truly
