SENIOR LECTURER’S OFFICE,

Trinity College, Dublin,

25 April, 1882

My dear Mr Wallace

I have received your kind letter¹ of 20^th inst. for which I feel much obliged — the statements about Gulf Streams in my last paper support your own views rather them mine, no one will admit the result more readily than myself.

I fear that I shall not have the pleasure [2] of seeing your degree conferred on the 29th June as I shall have to attend the General Medical Council in London on the 27th June[.]

I was asked b the Provost & Senior Fellows to recommend two names for Honorary Degree in Physical & Natural Science and I choose D^r Siemens & yourself, as worthy representatives of the two "poles of science" I am

yours very truly | Samuel Haughton² [signature]
