To G. H. Darwin 8 November [1878]1
Nov. 8.—
My dear George.
I am delighted at the contents of your packet. Though I could understand hardly any of the Report, yet the last sentence is clear enough & delightful.—2 There can be no doubt now about the value of your work— It will be fine, if you have to come here to work astronomically. I shd. think it wd be a very proper object for a R.S. grant; but remember I shall always be too glad to help you with money.—3 I have not been so much pleased for a long time
Yours affect C. Darwin
