| Recipient | Durham; Joseph (1814-1877); British sculptor |
| Date | 8 May 1868 |
| Description | Confirming that the portraits of [Isaac] Newton and [William] Harvey will not permitted to be taken out of the custody of the Royal Society [so that Durham may sketch them].

He notes that the Society has an 'excellent' engraved portrait of Newton to show Durham, but suggests visiting the Royal College of Physicians and the University College [London] for better busts of Harvey.
