Tindal, Nicholas Conyngham, 11 March 1838; 7 Feb. [no year].
Scope and Contents
1. Autograph letter signed from Nicholas Tindal to Sir Charles Lyell, dated 11 March 1838, Bedford Square [London]: "I am sorry we missed each other, when we must both have called for the same purpose. I send you my proxy paper for the Yorkshire Schools, properly signed by me; but I will trouble you to put in the name of the proxy, and also the proper figure apart the boys name; for there is something a little obscure in the two last lines of the N. B. which I had rather leave to the interpretation of the learned".
2. Autograph letter signed from Nicholas Tindal to Leonard Horner: 7 February [no year], Bedford Square [London]: "I regret very much my unablety to accept your invitation to dinner on Saturday 16th – but we are already engaged on that day at Mr Justice Coltman’s [i. e. the judge Justice Coltman, who fell a victim to the third cholera pandemic in 1849]. It is much to be lamented by your friends that the labours of your arduous office carry you so frequently and for such long periods from us; I hope however upon your next return from the North we shall have the pleasure of seeing more of you company [...]".
