 ing to you their deep felt sympathies and sorrow for your recent 

 bereavement and loss, by the untimely death of your late husband, 

 who for many years was intimately connected with this Society.

 over the civilized world, and we can only mourn with you his 

 removal from the extended sphere of usefulness which he has of late 

 occupied.

 of the condolence of the Council and Members of the Royal Society

 pression of their earnest hope that you may find consolation in the 

 remembiance that your late husband fell in the path of duty, 

 regretted and esteemed by those who knew him. 

 " I remain, 



" Dear Madam, 



'' Yours most faithfully, 

 (Signed) "John J. Bleasdale,
