Dear Mr Wallace,

In answer to your request, addressed to the Assistant Secretary I send you, herewith enclosed, a copy of the Report of the Darwin Memorial Fund committee, and an extract from the Council Minutes of the Royal Society.

These two documents will, I think, together give you the history of [2] the foundation of the Darwin Medal.

I am | Yours faithfully | M. Foster¹ [signature] | Sec. R.S.

Dear Mr Wallace,

Sorry you could not come — but think you were wise not to risk journey.

There is a statement <by> President in his annual address given on Tuesday which you might add to [one word illeg]. We will send you a copy when printed — say in a month or two — If we forget please remind us.

[one word illeg]. | Yours truly | M. Foster [signature]
