| Creator | Rue; Warren de la (1815-1889); British astronomer; chemist; inventor |
| Date | 26 March 1887 |
| Description | Informs the Kew Committee of the Royal Society 'desire to extend their operations' but due to the lack of space 'they are unable to do so, without adding rooms either to the observatory itself or to one of the buildings in its enclosure', and apply to the Society 'assistance in carrying out their project'. Discusses the justification for their application. Refers to the increase of annual 'verification fees' over the years, of different instruments and apparatus. |
