Unidad documental simple 96 - Letter from Sir Alfred Lyall to Henry Sidgwick

Reports that '[t]he medallion of Sir Henry Maine has now been placed in the Abbey', and that since 'the fee required of the Abbey [ ] has unexpectedly been lowered below the amount originally mentioned', they now have a balance in hand of about £80. Asks his opinion on 'the proper disposal of this surplus money', Sidgwick having taken 'an active part in collecting subscriptions at Cambridge for the Memorial'. Mentions the putting up of a tablet or some other commemorative monument at Cambridge, 'in Trinity Hall or elsewhere', and expresses his willingness to lay Sidgwick's suggestions before Lord Cross and the Committee. Suggests that he might like to consult others 'who may be interested in the matter', but emphasises that here he is not writing under his authority.
