Title	Letter from John George Children, British Museum, to Francis Baily
Date	18 July 1836
Description	States that after he had seen Baily the day before he called on Dr Roget and found what he had not understood before, that he [Roget] had already written to Panizzi in answer to his letter. Children therefore did not send his own letter, written at Baily's home. Had just received an accompanying letter from Panizzi, which he forwarded to Baily. Felt that Panizzi's letter was written in a very temperate tone though firm. Begs Baly for his consideration before they proceed with what had been agreed on the last meeting of the Council. It strikes him that there is a great deal of force in Mr Panizzi, and that if the Council persists in refusing a reference it may hereafter wish it had. Adds that this, however, is merely his private opinion which he submits merely for Baily's consideration.
