Letter from Dr Clarke Abel to Brian Houghton Hodgson. He writes, in case Hodgson has not seen the Government Gazette, to send a copy of the report of the Physical Committee by which Hodgson will see how largely the Committee is indebted to his communications. Hodgson's antelope is an interesting animal in many respects and Abel asks for more information on him. Abel has received the skins that Hodgson sent and intends to make some of them the contents of a Paper. He also thanks Hodgson for samples of minerals and a Bhotan Grammar. He asks in what conditions the specimens were found and whether Hodgson knows anything about a Chinese stone often used as ornament. Abel is submitting some of Hodgson's work to the Calcutta Scientific Journal. He asks that Hodgson will guide Louis Francois to the animals he should study. He hopes that Hodgson may some time come to Calcutta. Handwritten, 3 sides, dated 18 February 1826.
