Scope and Contents

Letter to Sir Andrew Crombie Ramsay from E Dison in Paris, apologising for the delay in forwarding his diploma conferring honorary membership of the Swiss Naturalists. The letter postulates whether Sir Ramsay could collect it in person while attending the Anthropological and Palioethaological Congress in Paris, or whether it could be delivered during a visit to the Great Exhibition. The letter details a fossil bear thought to be pre-glacial.
