Description | Delage asks for a sum of £60, the annual subscription for a table at the Roscoff Biological Station. He takes the liberty of reminding the Secretary of his letter of 27 October 1915. The Station remains open despite the war and hosted 25 French and foreign workers in the past year. If any of his correspondent's fellow workers had presented themselves, they would have been welcomed. He hopes that the war, in which England is involved, will have a happy outcome and that scientific relations between their two countries will resume.
With a covering note: 'The R.S. subscribed £60 (Gore Fund) in 1914 for a table for 1 year. The subsn. was paid in 1915 (27 Oct). Delage seems to be under the impression that we are to subscribe annually'. A second note in pencil states that: 'Delage was told in March 1915 that the Soc. wd. subscribe for one year.' |
