              Part of Papers of Henry Thomas Colebrooke

He asks whether the other gentlemen might be interested in joining the Geological Society. Handwritten, dated 20 January 1820, received 9 July 1820.

              Part of Papers of Henry Thomas Colebrooke

              Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Nathaniel Wallich to ask Wallich whether he would like the earlier volumes of the Geological Transactions to complete his set as they are available at modest terms. Colebrooke and Mr Lambert have had an interview to request an assistant for Wallich but, as yet, do not know the outcome. The specimens that Wallich sent are still undistributed and therefore Colebrooke suggests that Wallich apportions them to men of science in future. In a postscript Colebrooke mentions that Richardson is still sending publications to Wallich. Handwritten, dated 30 March 1824, received 29 September 1824.
