Letter from Prof. H. C. Millies to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he praises Hodgson's papers on ethnic languages of Nepal, Central Asia and Dravidians which were sent earlier by Hodgson through Mrs. Nahuys. He makes a request for coins of Nepal and the neighbouring countries and mentions his interest in numismatics. He would like to have a meeting with Hodgson and therefore sends an invitation to Hodgson to visit him in Holland. Hodgson's note with receipt and reply dates on the back of the letter. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 8 July 1859.
