My dear Mr Wallace

I have received your kind letter 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 Henry 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 Haughton [signature]
