Date04 November 1843
DescriptionWrapper endorsed: Has seen Mr. Cheveston and learnt from him all the details he wished for Arago, respecting my father’s ivory bust. Will get a bust of A sent to London for him to copy. Thinks well of his very small ivory one of Arago. Will arrange with Mr Turner for the transport of my father’s marble one to the Institute. Hopes that Lord B. & Arago may not meet in Paris, as the latter is much incensed. Will try to prevent any publication of their correspondence. Goes to Liverpool & Manch[ester] on Monday with Count Boromeo & returns to Paris on Saturday.
