Trin: Coll: - JDF has received the enclosed [no longer attached] from Mr Robertson of Elgin, a friend of Louis Agassiz: 'I had never asked for an expression of his opinion' [a dispute between JDF and Agassiz, over who discovered the veined structure of a glacier and the idea that its centre moves faster than its sides]. He hopes WW will put JDF's case to the Trevelyans who spent a lot of time with Agassiz last year.
