Four pages, 12mo, bifolium, fold mark, very good condition. "I will be frank with you - so please do not have my letter printed & circulated round your office. We have made our appointment to S.K. [South Kensington? Natural History Museum?] and our selection [presumably Frederic Kenyon] is from within the department. The Archbishop & I have had many deep & prolonged consultations over the matter - the Lord Chancellor who does not really take much interest in the affairs of the Museum is doubtful & does not care to commit himself, has not yet signed thge appointment. I do not know what he may do so on Monday morning after a day's golf on Sunday. | I am astonished at your friends in the department wanting a postponement & an enquiry by the Standing Committee. A postponement would involve a continuation of the rule of Sir E.M. Thompson which I understand is not much to their taste; and an enquiry by the standing committee (on what?) can have little or no influence on the principal trustees who at independently of them. | I am afraid that our selection of a Director although it will be approved by the Royal Society & scientific persons generally will not be a popular appointment. The public look for an Owen [Richard Owen, palaeontologist] or a Darwin and if we had any body of that stamp we should not hesitate to put him in a Director of the S>K. [see above] quite regardless of whether he had previously been in the department. We want the best man we can get & do not feel in any way bound to limit our choice.…
