My dear Huxley
Whilst returning home, I thought of your second proposal, & it seems to me that if any such document was presented to a man like Ld. Aberdare, he would say "what the devil do I care what he wishes".1 And as for Owen he would send the whole concern to the Devil rather than sign2not that his signature signifies very much. Whatever you decide on all points that will I do.
