Spence Hardy writing to J W Redhouse, Secretary of the RAS, in which he informs the RAS of Gogerly's death and writes; "It is not certain yet what will be dome with Gogerly's collections towards a Pali Dictionary. If I live to return home, I may send it to prepare with additions from other quarters". Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 11 September 1863
