From Godfrey Wedgwood to W. E. Darwin 15 June 1869

My dear William

The medaillon has come safely to hand and is an excellent likeness of your father. I shall look after the reproducing of it with great interest and hope we shall succeed. All the Sir W Hookers were on pale blue ground which is what I understand you want. The medallion of Sir W Hooker was not large enough to fill the space in the centre of the fern plaques without a framework. We shall make the plaque however the same size as the Hooker plaque. The head is somewhat smaller than Sir W Hookers, and considerably lower in relief—so I hope we shall have better luck with it. I have entered a mem^m similar to that at the end of my letter of Dec 16/68 to say that you take the risk
