Summary:
Sending a copy of the "Life" (My Life, A Record of Events and Opinions, abridged one volume edition), Mr Waugh disappointed at small number taken by booksellers, 2 volume edition (1905) still being sold; invitation from the RI (Royal Institution of Great Britain) to give an evening lecture at the Jubilee of the Origin of Species next January, initially reluctant but now has some new ideas and has accepted provisionally, Crookes (Honorary Secretary) has offered to read on his behalf if necessary.
