March 3rd. 1880.
Dear Mr. Darwin!
I got yesterday your kind letter and the enclosed cheque of £.100. I thank you once more most sincerely for your generous present and for the permission to use it in the way I ventured to propose.1
It was urged at the last Meeting of the Brit. Association, that such a fund was necessary, but no money was granted for it. I hope this time it may have a better success, and I have confidentially told about your gift to the Secretary of the Committee for the Table of the Brit. Ass, so that he may report upon it at the next meeting.2
With my kindest regards | I remain | Yours respectfully | and most sincerely | Anton Dohrn
