TitleLetter from [Vernon Herbert] Blackman, Imperial College of Science and Technology (Royal College of Science), South Kensington, London, to the Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, Burlington House
CreatorBlackman; Vernon Herbert (1872-1967)
Date6 November 1925
Description'Dear Sir, I have received your letter with the suggestion that I should undertake the obituary notice of the late Sir Francis Darwin. I shall be glad if the Council may be informed that I am reluctant to undertake this. I feel that such Fellows of the Society as Dr F.F.Blackman and Mr A.G. Tansley, who were associated for a number of years with Sir Francis as a colleague, could accomplish the task in a much more satisfactory manner. Yours truly, V H Blackman'.
