Dear  Mr.  French : 
It  has  given  me  exceptional  pleasure  to  receive  your  very  kind 
letter  of  the  24th  ultimo,  and  1  desire  to  assure  you  of  my  deep 
appreciation  of  the  cordial  sentiments  and  good  wishes  therein 
expressed. 
The  significance  of  the  honor  attending  the  award  of  the  Han- 
bury  Gold  Medal  has  been  greatly  enhanced  to  me  by  the  feeling 
that  its  bestowal  has  also  afforded  gratification  and  pleasure  to  so 
many  of  my  esteemed  friends  across  the  sea.  The  occasion  of  its 
presentation  on  October  1st  was  a  memorable  one,  and  it  was  a 
great  delight  to  me,  as  indeed  to  the  entire  assembly,  that  Professor 
Remington  could  be  present  and  participate  in  the  proceedings.  His 
remarks  in  seconding  a  vote  of  thanks,  proposed  by  Sir  William 
Tilden,  F.R.S.,  for  my  address,  were  most  felicitous,  and  it  was  al- 
together a  grand  and  happy  day. 
I  have  been  deeply  touched  by  the  expressions  of  interest 
manifested  in  my  career  by  the  Philadelphia  College,  which  has 
indeed  been  to  me  a  "  kindly  mother."  I  am  grateful  for  the  stimu- 
lus to  scientific  study  which  was  first  received  as  a  student  within 
its  walls,  and  appreciate  very  highly  the  honors  it  has  in  later  years 
conferred  upon  me. 
In  heartily  reciprocating  your  good  wishes  for  health  and  hap- 
piness, believe  me  to  be, 
Sincerely  yours, 
Frederick  B.  Power.
