Best.-Nr. 42932Sir Samuel Squire 1860-1937 Medical Editor and Author saying that he is "trying to get to the bottom of the many letters which accumulated during my late absences in the Canaries & Madeira. I have just come across the enclosed. I hasten to send it to you as it entirely alters the aspect of Mr Baiters action. I do not remember giving him the privilege to speak in express terms but I should not like to say that my words may have been incapable of that interpretation." 3 sides 8vo. 4 Marlborough Place London 7th June Between 1870 and 1885 Huxley went through a period of almost ceaseless activity. He was chosen as one of the secretaries of the Royal Society published a variety of philosophical works was a member of the London School board and served on six royal commissions.

Best.-Nr. 42673John Henry 1831-1883 Architect based in Birmingham saying that "Far be it from me to forget the Birmingham & Midland Institute & the many kind receptions I have met with from its members - but I have had a warning to abstain from all work that can be avoided and I am sorry to say that I must give you the Popes answer 'Non possumus'." 2 side 8vo. 26 Abbey Place London NW 21st July date not clear but From 1870 onwards Huxley was to some extent drawn away from scientific research by the claims of public duty. He served on eight Royal Commissions from 1862 to 1884. From 1871 to 1880 he was a Secretary of the Royal Society and from 1883 to 1885 he was president. He was president of the Geological Society from 1868 to 1870. In 1870 he was president of the British Association at Liverpool and in the same year was elected a member of the newly constituted London School Board. Huxley is known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Some time in 1871 Huxley had been found to have a heart condition and hence his reference to reducing his work load. The phrase 'decree of non possumus' means 'We Cannot' and would be the first words of a Papal decree when he is refusing something. The red armorial stamp is from an auction of 1917 to raise money for the War Effort. The previous owner had acquired this item from a collection sold in this auction. unknown
