Title Letter from Henry George Lyons to John David Griffith Davies, Leighton Hall near Shrewsbury
Date17 November 1940
DescriptionHas a complete type-script of a rough draft of the history [of the Royal Society] 1640-1860 and when he gets to Oxford at the end of November, will be able to start on a fair draft of the whole. Asks if there is a spare set of 'Notes and Records' which he could borrow. Finds Leighton Hall a peaceful place. Wonders if the Record Office told Davies who translated the Charters for Weld around 1845. The next number of 'Notes' had better wait until October 1941.
