Is sure that any of CD’s friends would be proud to accept the medal on his behalf.
The [Royal Society] President’s address is in the Reader [4 (1864): 708–9], but one or two sentences have been omitted.
Encloses letter [missing] which he believes will clear up the part he played in Edward Sabine’s Presidential Address. Does not wish CD to think that he did not support the Origin.
HF merely wanted to correct a false impression given by a sentence taken out of context.
