Title | Letter from J [John] Basset, Gt [Great] Cumberland Place, to Charles Hatchett, Belle Vue House, Chelsea |
Creator | Basset; John (fl.1820s-1830s); British |
Recipient | Hatchett; Charles (1765-1847); British chemist |
Date | 4 December 1835 [postmark] |
Description | He should have had the pleasure of calling on Hatchett now that he no longer has to attend his lady. He has mislaid Hatchett's amended copy of the inscription intended for his uncle's monument [Francis Basset, commemorated in a tomb inscription and by the Dunstanville memorial, Carn Brea]. He would like to have a copy of Hatchett's, if he has one. He approves of the alterations, but notes difficulties and asks for further consideration of the two last lines. The composition is of the most difficult sort, he concludes. |
