Scope and Content

Written from Royal Gardens, Kew. Manuscript

He has read Maw's notes on the Mediterranean, which have increased his desire to visit; he is interested in the correlation of elevations between Serapis [Temple of Serapis, Pozzuoli, Naples] and the other coasts, which seems not to be coincidental; he has not heard from Carstensen [Frederick Carstensen, consul in Mogador, later Essaouira, Morocco], to whom he has again written; he sends every good wish of the season
