Professor Coleman to Mr. W. Goodwin. 
Royal Veterinary College, December 2d, 1828. 
Sir, 
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1st mst.; 
and I beg leave to refer you to Mr. Sewell, as the proper officer 
of this institution for the information you require. I think it 
necessary, however, to state, that I am quite sure no “ indignity ” 
towards the veterinary profession by the governors of the Royal 
Veterinary College was ever intended; and that I shall at all times 
feel myself flattered by being consulted by you, or any other vete¬ 
rinary surgeon, in any case or cases of difficulty or danger, and

any veterinary surgeon, from which we are likely to derive veteri¬ 
nary knowledge. 
-I remain, Sir, 
Your most obedient, humble servant, 
Edw. Coleman.

I have in sending them to you; and I request that you will be

alleged in Mr. Morton’s letter. 
Having been a subscriber to the College, and knowing that 
there are veterinary surgeons subscribers to the institution, I am 
desirous of learning from you, as the organ of the committee ot 
the governors, the precise state of the case; and am, Sir, 
Your obedient, humble servant, 
W. J. Goodwin.
