Autograph Letter Signed to unnamed male correspondent.

Two pages, 12mo. Very good, with the merest spotting at head. He 'will be at West Drayton by the train due there nearest to 4 o'clock'. He has no time-table to hand, 'but shall see one at Jermyn St. to-morrow'. 'I shall be very glad to see the place of the Ickenham well, the section of which savours of some slight addition to our map, & also your pits.' He will bring a copy of the map, '& my interleaved copy of the Memoir with fresh well-sections added.' According to one authority, Whitaker 'meticulously accumulated and published detailed records of wells and borings' over a period of nearly sixty years.
