Dear Sir,

I delayed sending the pages which I mentioned in my last not knowing how long you would be at Tunbridge Wells – & it afterwards escaped my seeing. I send it now with a lithograph which was distributed at the meeting of the Bristol Association. Without the key however, I fear you will not be able to make sense of it. The Athenæum did not publish a report of my paper but I hope this will be in when the Annual Report of the Association comes out.

Yours vy truly
Edw Hincks
