Dear Mr. Davis, 
I have only just heard from my cousin, to whom I forwarded 
your enquiry about my uncle, James Garth Marshall, and I am sorry 
he says he cannot give you any information about his scientific 
investigations or work. There was a notice of him in the Leeds 
Mercury, and 1 write to Mr. Talbot Baines, asking him to send you 
a copy, if still to be got, or give you the date, but I fear it will say 
little, if anything, about the scientific side of his life. 
I know he was a companion to Adam Sedgwick in his exploration 
of this hilly country, and did some investigation on his own account. 
He also made some elaborate experiments on the result of long 
heating of powdered rocks from this country under pressure, but 
whether the results were worth anything or not I do not know. 
His specimens were all given to the Yorkshire College, and 
Professor Green may be able to tell you something. 
Yours, 
Stephen A. Marshall.
