ArgyllStreet 1825
My dear Sir
I have yet to thank you for your letter received last month by the hands of
Sir Alexander Johnston I had the satisfaction, when meeting him the beginning of this week to learn from him, that he had recently heard from you & from his son, giving gratifying accounts of mine It is indeed very satisfactory to hear that he goes on so well & that you think so favorably of the progress made by him – I shall be glad to find that he manifests a turn for mathematical study, the only branch which you except from those in which he has begun well on advanced creditably.
Immediately on receipt of your letter I instructed my bankers to expect, & pay, the half yearly draft in January instead of Feby. The accounts are quite satisfactory
You will have learnt that we have re-opened our proceedings in
the R. Asiatic Society under favourable auspices. There has been an interesting [2] paper on the valley of the Setledge in the Himálaya, which passed through my hands – It will be inserted in the forthcoming fasciculus.
I am sorry to say our friend
Dr Noehden is not well – He has had several attacks of illness within the last few months
Shall I request you to tell
my son that his brothers are well and are often thinking of him? They hope he does not forget them
Yours very sinc
ly
HColebrooke
