Letter from T. Hanbury [Thomas Hanbury] to Casey [George Edwards Comerford Casey]

Scope and Content

Written from Strathtummel, Pitlochry, NB [Northern Britain]. Manuscript. Annotated 'Aug-Sep 1900' in pencil in a different hand

He thinks he sent him the pamphlet by Dr Verneau entitled 'L'Homme de la Barma Grande'; he wants to issue an English translation of it; he entrusted the translation to a French lady, a friend of theirs who he believes was not very capable, so he has had a lot of trouble correcting her work up to page 32; he asks if Casey would do him the favour of reading through these pages and say if they are good enough to print when the rest of the book is finished, or if he should employ another translator to do a better job; he asks him to make any suggestions or corrections; they leave for Scotland tomorrow; he has put their new address at the top of the letter
