| Title | Copy letter from Michael Foster, to Dr David Gill, Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 19 November 1886 |
| Description | Gill's application for a grant in aid of an atlas of the southern heavens was placed before the Committee and a resolution agreed that the consideration of the application be postponed as such a large undertaking should not be entered upon without previous preliminary consideration by a Committee, and until the matter has been discussed at the proposed Paris Conference. A Committee has been appointed by the Council and will communicate further with Gill. |
