My dear Huxley
I have asked Hooker to forward the memorial, & after signing it, please place it in the enclosed envelope. for me.2
N.B. Letters placed in pillar post even so late at night reach Down at noon next day.— I read a few days ago in the Times a splendid Lecture by you before the Zoolog. Soc on Evolution.—3
How I do hope that all our trouble about the memorial may be successful.—
