Royal College of Surgeons of England, | London, | (W.C.)
15th. day of April 1863
My dear Sir
I shall have great pleasure in complying with your request,1 as far as I am able— In the first place I will take the skull to be photographed, as soon as I have obtained (which I have no doubt I shall) the permission of the Committee, and I will make enquiries as to the cost of a cast—2
I hope that some time when you are in town I may have the pleasure of showing you the recent additions to this Collection—to the value of which you have contributed so largely3
Believe me | very faithfully yours | W. H. Flower.
