Letter (WCP2105.1995)

[1]

[Feby 8th 1868]

My dear Wallace

The cover of the memorial should be addressed to the secretary of the Science & art department South Kensington — : the memorial itself to "The Lords of the Committee of Council on Education"; and you should inclose with it a note addressed [2] to the secretary of the science & art department requesting him to lay the memorial before the Lords of the Committee of Council —

That's the way the tape ties —

Sir Charles Lyell1 has the list of papers[.] [3] He took it away with him the last time he came here.

Ever yours faithfully | T H Huxley3 [signature]
