Date29 June 1681
DescriptionPresent at the meeting: Sir Christopher Wren, President; Sir John Lowther; Mr Hill; Mr Colwall; Mr Hook; Mr Perry

Mr Chiswell's Patent to be Printer to the Society was fairly engrossed, read and approved.

Sir Christopher Wren gave an account of his discussion with Mr Rossington concerning Chelse College, whereby he found him unwilling to comply with the Propositions made to him by the Society, and to pay only £20 per annum for it. Resolved not to treat further with him about it, but to think of some other way of disposing of it to some better advantage for the Society.
