My dear Bates
Will you be so good as to sign the enclosed Certificate for Mr. Meldola, who does not expect to be elected until 2 or 3 years have elapsed?—1 Please return in enclosed envelope.— But if for any reason you object, I will mention the fact to no one. I shall ask Sir J. Lubbock if he will sign & then send it in the R. Soc.y.—2
My dear Bates, Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
