Quaternary Peat Committee letterheaded notepaper). Kendall is sending two specimens of Haigh Moor coal (from Whitwood Colliery) from his coal cellar, which should together prove the 'growth in place' origin of that coal seam.

Handwritten letter to Rev. J. Fowler from Professor P. F. Kendall, West Wimbledon, London SW20. Fowler has invited Kendall to visit him; however, Kendall's 'time is rather fully hypothecated for this Summer' - he will be 'going up North for a fortnight at Eclipse time and again for the Brit. Assoc. meeting and after', and will probably have to deal with 'work on Water Supply and similar matters'. Refers to ironstones from South Downs, ironstone at Piltdown, and 'Lenham relics' along North Downs. Comments that 'I thought when I came South that I was leaving all the really interesting country behind, just as I did when I went North 42 years ago, but, if one have the real appetite, any Geological food seems nourishing.' Asks Fowler to 'give my kind regards to Standing'.
