 "Dear Mns. TvM)ALI>, ''January }7th, IH'JS. 



'•1 have to acknowledge your letter, enclosing a crossed clicque of the 

 value of iKiOO. This gener us donntion to the funds of ti e Koyal Institution, 

 given by your late husband's ex) res^ed wish, will be notified to the Managers 

 and to the MembL-rs generally at their next nieetiug, when a formal acknowledg- 

 ment of their grateful appreciation of it will be communicati d to you. Meanwhile 

 I trusr, you will allow me to express my own senst^ of the Uiuuitlcence of the gift 

 and of the simple and toncliing terms in which it has been conveyed. 



" The Managers would. I am sure, d( sire to be guided by any wish of yours as 

 to the applicatitn of the gift, but in the absence of any explicit diiections they 

 will, I have no doubt, employ it in the piomotion of original scientifio research, 

 in which your husband's vivid and penetrating intellect delighted to exurcise 

 itself. 



'■Revered as your late husband's memory is, and ever must he, in the Royal 

 Institution, this j)Osthumous nnirk of Ids solicitude for its welfare will, if possible, 

 deepen the afl'ectionate esteem in which he is held.
