My Dear Haeckel
I have to-day sent you back eight plates signed for press and yesterday I sent you two. I will send Giltsch’s accounts on to the treasury this week I am glad to hear that you are getting on with || the Radiolaria work. It will give me great pleasure congratulate you on the completion of the whole of your M.S.! and to send you as big an honorarium as possible!!
I told Schulze to send you the peculiar organisms. I think you looked at them when || you were here. I suppose you refer to those from the 6 Sept. 1875. and 25 August 1875 ⸻2424 and 2900 fms. Should you like more sent to you?
My best remembrances to Mrs Haeckel and all your family
Yours very truly
John Murray.
