My Dear Sir,

 I should feel particularly obliged if you could now return the remainder of the fossils I had the pleasure of lending to you.   Mrs. Mantell is in town & I am anxious to obtain them by this opportunity.   I also wish a good impression of the portrait of your excellent Father and two or three on my 4th paper of the Tilgate uniones: the bill for the same, with the specimens, to be sent to Mrs. Mantell, at Mr. Woodhouse corner of Broad Street, Oxford Street, London, before Saturday next.

With great regard & every good wish believe me                                                            

                                                                Yours my dear Sir,

                                                                                            G. Mantell
