My dear Baron,

I beg that you will convey to the Victorian Branch of the Geographical Society of Australasia my best thanks for the honorary membership of their Society which they have conferred upon me, and assure them that it will at all times be a great pleasure and satisfaction to me if I can in any way forward their objects and interests.

I thank you for the kind terms of your letter conveying the diploma,

Letter not found.

and beg you to believe that my pleasure in receiving it is greatly enhanced by the circumstance that it should have been granted during the presidency of so distinguished a man of science as yourself.

Yours faithfully

R G C Hamilton
