My dear Sir
I return the Atheneum and the extract from Eliza Cooks' Journal.
The notion therein set and the train of reflections suggested in the former are to my mind perfect._
You cannot do better than keep that excellent article in view in sketching my father's Biography it contains the head of all that is marked in a nutshell
Yours faithfully
Robt Stephenson
