Michael Foster and Thomas Henry Huxley, Correspondence, Letters 186 through 200, 1865–1895

Abstract

My dear Foster I have not received your prospectus of an Authors' company so I can't say yea or nay. Won't there be time to talk over it on Thursday. Mr Faunthorpe, 1 the Principal of Whitelands College has sent in a furious attack on us for the results of the examinations of his lambs – I think it will be necessary to direct their performances in detail. If you could come here on Thursday evening we could go over the business together. Ever yours T. H. Huxley I will go to the meeting of the Council of the [Assocn] for research if possible. Reverend Sir Do you see your way to entering Lankester in Athenaeum Books. I am quite prepared to second him. At present his name is not down, so that the Ctee can't take cognisance of him. With all exaggeration of his fault, there can't amount to an exclusion from the Club, and of all the Biologists etc, he from scientific eminence has to my mind prior claims. Ever thine M. Foster My dear mother is a little better & will I hope recover.
