Description | 'Sir, In answer to your note of 3rd inst. [instant] I make only twenty guests of the Society instead of twenty-one, in other respects the a/c [account] is correct. If you like to send up your doorkeeper's list I can check the discrepancy. I think I may safely say that the dinner gave satisfaction. I am, yours truly, Herbert Rix Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
