| Title | Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Sir William Thomson, President of the Royal Society |
| Date | 1 December 1891 |
| Description | 'Dear Sir,
As you entered the room from the Hotel entrance last evening, Mr James did not have an opportunity of asking for your fee. I ought to explain that it has been customary for the president to pay his guinea with the rest of the Fellows, though personally I am inclined to think that considering the labours thrown upon him, he ought to be exempt! Kindly send a cheque at your leisure.
Yours obediently
Herbert Rix
Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
