Copy of letter to Mr Fletcher from John Ruskin, Sandgate

Scope and Content

Details a disagreement between Ruskin and Fletcher about the positioning of specimens. He states that the diamond should not be called the Ruskin as it is unworthy of a name, but he will give it to the Museum on condition they include the inscription he provides. Ruskin will come to the Museum to see the labels placed and states that they are not to be moved by 'any miserable little Darwinian cad'.
