| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from James Bruce, 8th Earl of ELGIN, 20 ? Place, 21 May 1859. Re: is sorry that Murchison has twice called on Bruce and his not being at home but is travelling to Scotland immediately so cannot attend the festival to which he has been invited; thinks he should have answered Murchison's letter immediately but did not think the Foreign Office would have liked him talking about China. |
