| Title | Copy letter from Arthur William Rucker, to Sir Clements Roberts Markham, Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 12 December 1899 |
| Description | Is afraid there is some misapprehension on Markham's part regarding the Society's Council Meetings. Rucker has consulted the Treasurer [Alfred Bray Kempe] and he agrees that for a big financial question the Council must be given a weeks notice. Thinks it right to add that from what the Treasurer says, Markham must not assume that the Society will be prepared to undertake a financial liability of this kind. If called upon to pay the Society has no funds except the Government Grant available for such a purpose, and it would probably be held that the £1000 already promised[?] is as much as they can obtain from that source. This opinion is of course unofficial. |
