My dear Dyer
Would you look at the enclosed extraordinary letter fr. Baron v. Müller? I shall reply that I am no longer on the Council of the Royal Society and cannot undertake the business. At the same time I should like to know whether you think the Baron has any claims to a Royal Medal — he seems to me to have done some good work
Yours very truly
P L Sclater.
