Dear Sir

I can at last send you the pebles which you asked me for last automn.¹

The first box contains pebles of the strata in which I find roled romen briks, about 1$\frac{1}{2}$ metre higher then the leval of the lake of Geneva, which prooves that the level has gone down about 2 metres.

I have mixed bricks, alpin pebles and sand because you told me you wanted to see the sort of form which the pebles take.²

In the second box you will find only sand and pebles, but of the opposite side of the lake where I have found the same briks than on the N. E. side.

I preserve a very agreable remembrance of my visit to your house, and I only regret that it was so short.³

If ever you think at me in a favorable moment, will you please do me the particular favour to send me your photograph with signature.

I should be much indebted for it.

Please remember me to your kind family and believe me yours most faithfully | D^r. H:’ de Saussure

I have forwared to you last month my little book La question du Lac; at the chapter érosions, you will find the bricks mentioned.⁴
