My dear Sir

I shall be very glad indeed if I can furnish you with any information of use.¹

I send by post copies of the Registrar General’s Reports—and two other books which you may like to see—if they are not in your Library.² If you will kindly return the books—by post—postage-unpaid—under cover to the Registrar General—they will reach us in safety.

I will make inquiries about the animals—&c³

I write in haste as you may require the books.

I am my dear Sir | Yours very sincerely | W. Farr
