TO THE SAME.
London, October 31, 1815.
MY DEAR SIR,
I sent yesterday a sketch of my results on the fire-damp. We have lately heard so much of East[28] Shields, that by a strange accident I confounded it with Bishop-Wearmouth, and addressed your letter to East Shields.
I could not find any body to frank it, and you will find it a heavy packet; however, I could not lose a moment in giving you an account of results which I hope may be useful to humanity.
If my letter has not reached you, it will be found at the Post Office, East Shields.
With respects to Mrs. Gray, I am, my dear Sir, very sincerely yours,
H. Davy.
