WILLIAM KENNETT LOFTUS (BRITISH 1820-1858): AN AUTOGRAPHED LETTER SIGNED 'WM. KENNETT LOFTUS' ADDRESSED TO 'BLACKLOCK' WITH MENTION OF JAMES DAVID FORBES (SCOTTISH 1809-1868) AND OTHERS, A four page signed letter to a Mr. Blacklock mentioning the damage sustained to some specimens destined for the museum. With mention of the Geological Society, British Museum, Edward Forbes and others. Reads: My dear Blacklock, I called at Dowgate Wharf on Wednesday and Mr Nichol, having got the order from …. Lynch, promised to have the box at his place this morning. I regret to say that on opening the lid, a wretched scene presented itself. Altho’ the box was lined with tin and every care taken with soldering, which was done under my own inspection, the sea water had got in & completely destroyed the skins with the exception of 5 or 6 which are much damaged. I have not looked over the plants, but they must be in wretched plight also, since the paper is of course wet thro’ - the only things which have escaped wholly uninjured are the germs and seeds in bottles! I pitched the refuse into the Thames, & have taken possession of the few skins, & till an opportunity offers of sending them since they are positively not worth the carriage to …. alone. It is much to be regretted that the specimens are lost since they were all exceedingly fine ones and would have been an interesting & valuable addition to the museum. I strongly suspect that the heat of the two summers at Baghdad has melted the soldering, and hence the cause of the damage done. One of the boxes for the Br. Museum was in a similar state. I was at the annual meeting of the Geological this afternoon when Hopkins (the president) gave us a grand geologico-geometrical address, - and our friend Edw Forbes is the president elect. - Give my best remembrance to Mr Alder, Charlton & to all friends & believe me, Truly Yours, W Kennet Loftus. Further… I was extremely sorry that I was unable to call on Mr when in Martle…. ? There appears to have been some charge on the box from …… I shall write Lynch to look it. Feb - 18. 1853.
