I do not mean to say that I was able to follow all that you said as to the identity of Method in the two fields of Science and Religion, but I recognise that the "mysticism" of which you spoke gives us the only way by which the two fields can be brought into relation.
Among much that was memorable, nothing interested me more than what you said of Moseley.
No one, I am sure, knew better than you the value of his teaching and in what that value consisted.
Yours faithfully,
J. BURDON-SANDERSON.

In all these questions Mr. Darwin's careful observations gained for him a deserved approbation and confidence."
