[Inclosure No. 2.]

General Schenck to Sir Henry Rawlinson.

My Dear Sir Henry: Your letter of yesterday, with the gold medal awarded by the Royal Geographical Society to Mr. H. M. Stanley, was duly received.

I have to-day transmitted the medal to Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, at Washington, who, I doubt not, will take care that such honorable testimony to the energy and perseverance of an American citizen shall be safely and without delay conveyed to him.

I am, dear sir, very respectfully, your most obedient servant,

ROBT. C. SCHENCK.

Major-General Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, K. C. B, F. R. S., &c., President of the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, W.
