My dear Sir, I am afraid I cannot help you with any reminiscences of your late Father. I never was very intimate w with him, and we mostly met a meetings of Societies. My letters alw also from him were very few and as they would be dated 30 or 40 years ago, I am afraid I shall not be able to find them. I will however have a hunt for them.

Believe me | Very truly yours | William Crookes [signature]1
