| Title | Letter from James Orchard Halliwell[-Philipps], 10 Fitzroy Street, to John William Lubbock, [Treasurer of the Royal Society] |
| Date | 11 October 1843 |
| Description | Regarding Halliwell's past offer of creating a catalogue of oriental manuscripts for the Royal Society, which he has to withdraw. He cites other priorities and the sheer volume of the task, including multiple languages needed, as reasons for this. Furthermore, Halliwell requests a loan of [John] Aubrey's on the 'Natural History of Wiltshire'. This is for Halliwell's upcoming work on a glossary of archaic and provincial words.
