My dear Frank
I am very much obliged for your letter, as you will no doubt have had mine. I hope your poor mother is well as can be expected.
Last night in the House of Commons there
was a strong feeling that your father ought to be buried in Westminster Abbey, when I believe there is no greater or better man.
I am now sending a suggestion to that effect to the Dean. It is very influentially signed, as if there had been time many other signatures would have been added.
I am dear Frank
Yours most sincerely
John Lubbock
F Darwin Esq
