[Dec* II th 1837] 
My Hear Sir — 
I have delayed answering your letter for a very long 
time, having been busied in moving from one part of Norfolk to 
another. I shall I trust be stationary here, having been presented 
to the Rectory by my friend Sir T. Beevor*. With respect to the 
memoranda I sent to you, I rejoice that they were in any degree 
useful — do not, I beg, take any trouble of copying, or returning 
them. Should any other facts occur to me I will send you word. 
I trust ere long I shall come to London to spend a few days with 
a friend, when I anticipate the pleasure of calling upon you. 
Believe me, Dear Sir, 
Very truly yours — 
Richard Lubbock. 
I think from what an old fisherman has stated to me, that youi 
Anguilla mediorostris, Snig Eel, is to be found in some localities in 
Norfolk, he calls it the Glazed Eel, or Michaelmas ditto.

Norfolk. 
My Dear Sir. 
I recently met with two papers upon the birds and 
fish which were formerly to be found in the Norfolk fens, which I 
think you might like to glance over. You will find them in the 
third or fourth vol. of Wilkins’ edition of Sir Thomas Browne’s 
* Sir Thomas Branthwaite Beevor, Bart., born 1798, who now resides at 
Yarmouth, succeeded his father as third Baronet in 1820. He married a 
daughter of Richard Lubbock, M.D., of Norwich, and was consequently 
brother-in-law to the writer of the above letter.
