A short letter informing Reade that Blake has written to a Norfolk bookseller to look out for a copy of Paul Woodward's Geology of Norfolk for him.

He also mentions another two papers, one by R. C. Taylor, Notice of Fossil Timber on the Norfolk Coast , and Cambridge Geology, by J. G. Bonney.

Blake also mentions some observations he has made at the face of the cliff at Birmingham and the arduous task of wading through all of the literature on Norfolk geology.
