My dear Buckland

I send you a hastily concocted scheme for both examn at Cambridge if we are to have them of which there seems still to be considerable doubt.
I saw Sedgwick at Norwich last Friday - remarkably well - we shall be here another week for Mrs. H's health - I trust you are all well.

Ever [Yrs. truly]

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

Dear Sir

I shall not return till Friday the 19th as my Father and Mother are detained in Worcestershire and I thought it better to write to tell you of this alteration in my plans, as you were so good as to say you would ride to Abingdon to give me instructions about [?] drawing. The Fossil you can send when you please as they will take great care of any box directed to me and, if you can make it convenient to return to Oxford by Abingdon on Monday week I shall be very happy to see you. The Misses [?] asked me if it was possible that the gentleman who contradicted every word Dr Leach said at the Museum the other day could be Mr Buckland I have seen our new little friend once, and I hope to visit the Museum again. If I can be of any use to you in London, let me know - I lent your lecture to my old school mistress who is very much pleased with it. I wish you had time and inclination to write an elementary work on Geology you write so clearly and intelligibly that such a Publication would be most useful - I really believe that [to] many wise folks geologists are half Infidels and tho' your Lecture is well calculated to remove these prejudices, still a longer Treatise on the subject would be in my opinion (which however I offer with due humility) very [hole in paper] desirable
I durst write no more, as I may be told that my pen moves as fast as my Tongue and to as little purpose perhaps.

Believe me my dear Sir
Very truly yours
Mary Morland
