Referring to my precedent communications about the medal conferred on You by the "Museo

received by this mail, and to express You on behalf of the Ministry of Public Instruction
and Prof. Parlatore their thankful satisfaction for the continuous and valuable donations
which You offered to the same Museum and to other scientific Institutes of Italy.
