TitleLetter from R. Hamilton Few, Few and Company, 19 Surrey Street, Strand, London, to Sir George Gabriel Stokes, Lensfield Cottage, Cambridge
Date23 June 1890
DescriptionHe is sorry that Stokes had the trouble to call when Few was not in town. In his opinion, the Chelsea Physic Garden deed is good as a whole, with conditions binding on the Apothecaries' Company. The interests of the Royal Society do not arise until there has been a failure by the Apothecaries in the performance of the conditions, but it is not clear whether Sir Hans Sloane's representatives would then be bound to enter as Trustees for the Royal Society. The point need not be raised, however. He returns his letter of 16 July.
