Bereik en inhoud
Chiefswood by Melrose - JDF is about to visit London to re-new 'acquaintances, associations and interests'. If WW is in town let him know where he will be. Has WW heard the 'sundry bickerings' in London about whether the BAAS is to meet in Edinburgh or Ipswich in 1851: 'If they prefer Ipswich it would be bad manners in us to criticise their taste. But Sabine [Edward Sabine] has not behaved well and there has been a split in the council'.
