| Title | Letter from [the Duke of] Somerset, Park Lane, to Charles Hatchett, Belvue House, Chelsea |
| Creator | St Maur [formerly Seymour]; Edward Adolphus; eleventh Duke of Somerset (1775-1855); British politician and author |
| Recipient | Hatchett; Charles (1765-1847); British chemist |
| Date | 6 May [1836] |
| Description | Hatchett's work on the spikenard reached him yesterday and he is glad that Hatchett has written so fully. The translation of the Bible is bad and the Bible Society have circulated it without note or comment, which it wants if translated in that way. 'If Coverdale had written Groat for Groschen, he would have been nearer the mark'. |
