PROCEEDINGS 1841—1848. 
before June, if Dr. Bucklaiid is to visit the museum. I could perhaps 
devote a couple of days to the object, and much might be done even 
in that short time if Mr. Holt will join me, but ]\Ir. ^lorton must not 
rely on me for any assistance in the next section of your Railway 
Report. I have read the reports and will forward them to-day. 
Probably the printing of Mr. Morton's paper might be left to his own 
discretion ; it does not comprise any new matter, but shows clearly 
the facts in favour of the theory he adopts. As to my own paper I 
shall be glad before it is printed if you will take the trouble to enlarge 
it or amend it in any way you think proper. It was hastily written 
and cannot be printed as read. I have wiitten to Mr. Marshall to 
know when it will be convenient for him to attend the first meeting 
of the Local Committee, and when I hear from him I will write to the 
rest. Mr. Brandling is not at home. I have some further evidence 
about the non-identity of the Haigh Moor Coal and the Middleton 
Main Coal, but not far enough advanced for a paper.

Banks, 6th May, ISJ^l. 
My Dear Sir, 
I shall be glad to meet you at Lockwood's Hotel, (White Swan), 
Pavement, York, at 12 o'clock on Monday week, the 17th Inst. 
We are to meet the Agricultural Committee at 2. I hope Mr. Thorp 
will come, he seems now rather to incline. I infer from his letters 
that they will make the Museum at York a sine qua mn, if there is 
to be an united Museum. I do not think this necessary, but we can 
hear their arguments. If you should arrive before 12, I shall be 
heard of at Messrs. Tweedy & Wilson's Bank, in High Onsegate, and 
should be glad to consult with you as to the whole of the questions 
that are likely to arise, before Mr. Thorp arrives. 
Mr. Sopwith 1 fear cannot come to Leeds, and he says Dr. 
Buckland's lectures do not end till the middle of June, I have nothing 
yet promised but the Report on the North Midland Railway, unless 
Mr. Sopwith comes. I have written to ask Mr. Teale, who cannot 
help ; Mr. West, who does not answer ; Mr. Holt, who says he has 
not data ; and Mr. Billington, who promises one for the next meeting.
