Can you oblige me by posting me copies of the Presidential Address, — also addresses of Presidents of Sections so that I can read them in better type than "Nature" & save my eyes still very weak. Hope you are enjoying yourself. I am hard at autumnal work on Garden. Comps. to Mr. & Mrs. Stead3,4 & thanks for their kind invitations. Huxley5 has been staying near here.
