My dear Darwin.
Will you have the kindness to ask Milne if he can put his hand on a sheet of drawing paper in the sitting room with a sort of design for a mantil piece on it. It used to be on a drawing board. Milne knows [wh] as [it] is as he mentioned it to me one day. If you can find in [illeg] you please send it round to Miss DuPuy.
I hope you are getting on well & not finding things too bothering to you.
I leave here for Jena to—day or to—morrow. I may I think be in Cambridge on Sunday next for a few hours. If I can help you [illeg] send a line to Trinity & if I am there I [win] [atlad] to it.
I see we have got the Gold Medal after all. I hope Mr Pye is not too scornful one is.
Please tell Mrs Horace that I relinquish all claim to the Medal & gladly transfer my share of it to her.
[illeg] | Yours my truly | A. G. Dew—Smith.
