Council of the Royal Society have awarded CD the Copley Medal.
[Copley] Medal very great honour. Cordial thanks.
Chuckled over [Gaspard-Auguste] Brullé and pupils.
Splendid converts in Rudolf Leuckart and Carl Gegenbaur.
Hopes CD will be able to receive the Copley Medal in person. HF sees it as doubly significant in recognising CD’s work and as a protest against the profession of religious as opposed to scientific faith.
Gratified to receive Copley Medal. Cannot attend anniversary [of Royal Society]. Would HF receive medal for him?
Is sure that any of CD’s friends would be proud to accept the medal on his behalf.
