Dear Mrs. Valentine

I have thought of a gentleman who would do admirably your Natural History or any other work of compilation – being erudite – accurate – & precise to a degree. –

He is an Oxford man – a “coach” at Merton College. – “Richard Waddington Esq – Merton College – Oxford” – will doubtless find him – though it is not term time & he may be wandering – You can say I named him to you –

He is also a first rate German scholar & has translated various books for Bentley & Co. –

Very truly yours DMCraik Monday 14:th
