My dear Sir

I shall be here about ten days longer, but do not see any reason why you should wait for my convenience. I have therefore enclosed your note in a letter to Sir Henry, ^<1> who is probably in London, asking him to mention the matter to Panizzi, ^<2> whose assent must be obtained, in order to avoid inconveniences. I will let you know the moment I hear any thing in reply.

I am yours faithfully
Edwin Norris
