Covering letter to enclose a memorial [petitioning for a civil list pension for Wallace].
He will recommend a pension of £200 a year for Wallace.
CD expresses his great pleasure at WEG’s letter informing him that Wallace has been granted a pension.
CD is invited to allow his name to be suggested for the vacancy in the Trust of the British Museum caused by the death of Lord Beaconsfield. [See 13142.]
CD declines an invitation to be a trustee [of British Museum] because his strength is insufficient to permit regular attendance at meetings.
