One page, 12mo, fold marks, staining, other wear and tear but text clear and complete. "Before the year is out I wish to send you this friendly greeting. I an soorry that things seem to have gone against you, - always too fine an instrument for this hard world. You have never been very patient with 'sympathy', but I just wish to ['express' elided] say that I have towards you, as always, that feeling of comradeship which a warm grip of the hand would ['indicate' elided] better express. But I hope there are sunny days ahead yet and that we shall have another journey together some day.".

2pp., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. With oval date stamp of the Royal Society of Arts. He wonders whether 'some Fellows' might be interested to 'hear an account of "Methods of Controlling mussels & other Marine growths in Sea-Pipes"'. He explains: 'The blocking of pipes by mussel growth has occurred at many parts of the coast, but the problem of devising a means of keeping the mussels in check had not been seriously tackled until I investigated the matter in connection with the new Electric Power Station of Edinburgh Corporation on the Firth of Forth at Portobello'. He explains the kind of lecture he has in mind. He will describe his 'own experiments & the method of control which resulted therefrom, & which is now in use at the large power station above mentioned'. He concludes: 'The results of these experiments have not yet been published, so that the matter should be quite fresh.'.

He ends with the request that he write 'a few lines after your interview with Mr Graham'. In a postscript he says that he will 'write a note from Edinburgh stating how Mr Maule is -'.

I gave a large number in 1866 & some in subsequent years but it is difficult to recal [sic] to mind the details of transactions of so distant a date . He is putting down a few titles that occur to him [not present]: I know I did possess all I have named and more too & I gave all my collections to the Library, as I cd make no use of them here, without a Pandit. He ends by thanking him for his replies to his enquiries.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
1p., 12mo. Bifolium. Addressed on blank reverse of second leaf to 'Captain Maconochie'. In good condition, lightly aged. Begins: 'My dear Maconochie | I have not yet done packing - Have they sent the Books &c from the Ad[miralt]y.?' He next refers to 'the Almanack for 34', and his plans for the following day's 'Journey' [to Arctic - see NOte below]. From 1830 Maconochie was the first secretary of the Royal Geographical Society. In 1833 he became the first professor of Geography at the University College London. Note: "He left England in February 1833, reached the Great Slave Lake in August where George McLeod of the Hudson's Bay Company had built winter quarters at Fort Reliance at the eastern end of the lake. He located the river on 29 August and returned to the fort to winter." Alexander Maconochie was a Scottish naval officer, geographer and penal reformer. In 1840, Maconochie became the Governor of Norfolk Island, a prison island in which convicts were treated with severe brutality and were seen as lost causes.
