From Lawson Tait 12 June [1875]1
7, Great Charles St. | Birmingham.
June 12
2nd. Note.
My Dear Sir,
Your letter has just arrived, after the posting of my first.2
I am really ashamed that you should take up so much of your time in answering my letters. My only excuse for troubling you at all is that younger workers must reap in the great field that you have sown.
Many thanks for the references.3 I shall hunt them up.
I purpose sending you a paper on some of my histological work as it contains some hints for working that may prove useful to your son.4 It will be printed in a day or two
The hint you gave me about the hair is very valuable.5 Have the whiskers of the Felidae6 ever been fully worked out? If not I shall include them.
Yours faithfully, | Lawson Tait
