'I received your books last night quite safely, and plunged into 'Lutfullah' with great interest, being prepared to like it from the notice in the Athenaeum. The Bombay Q. Review looks good too, and I hit upon a lively paper describing the Overland journey, which fell in well with the direction of my curiosity'.
