 " Dear Dr. Wright, 



" I have received the copy of the resolution passed by the Royal 

 Irish Academy at the meeting on the 24th of June, relating to my 

 late husband, "Will you kindly express to the Academy how 

 grateful I feel to them for this recognition of his services both to the 

 Academy and to Science. 



*' It was, I know, a great gratification to him to have been named 

 as a Vice-President, for he always took the greatest possible interest 

 in the Academy and its proceedings. It was a great pleasure to him 

 to serve on the Council and to attend the meetings, and his most 

 intimate and valued friends were among the members of its body. 



" I remain, yours truly, 



"MariBall."
