June 2nd. 1877
My dear Mr Darwin
I believe Flower has spoken to you about the attack that has been made upon Wyville-Thomson which is explained in the enclosed memorandum and that you have expressed your willingness to join us in repudiating any share in it. The enclosed was drawn up by Flower Huxley and myself and is agreed to by Hooker. I hope you will be able to sign it. Please return it to me in the enclosed envelope.1
I was glad to hear from Sir Victor Brooke such a good report of you.2 When you come to London do not forget to come and see | Your’s most sincerely | P. L Sclater
