Title | Letter from [Alfred] [John] Jukes-Browne, Dinton, Salisbury, to [Henry Bowman] Brady |
Date | 5 May 1890 |
Description | Was pleased to receive Brady's letter of 11 April before he left Teignmouth for the Vale of Wardour. Was glad to learn that Brady's winter in 'the land of mummies' [Egypt] had done him good. Tells Brady he is perfectly welcome to make any use he likes of the results of his 'labourious examination' of Jukes-Browne's Barbadian rocks. Asks him to say which rocks he will take so he [Jukes-Browne] can send the right notes. Will send a little box containing two samples received from Barbados during the winter, which were not exactly rainwash but the loosest beds Jukes-Browne's friend could find. Their paper 'gets on by degrees', that a large part of it is written, and that he will send it to the Geological Society in November. Intends to publish a fullsize geological map of Barbados, and will take the risk of paying for it if the Barbadian legislature chooses not to. Is slow with the work because a new edition of his 'Building of the British Isles' was called for, and his official work has to come first. |
