| Description | 'Dea Sir,
I find I have neglected to answer a question you asked me some little time ago in one of your letters about bankers' orders for subscribing to the Proceedings [of the Royal Society]. We have no prescribed form suitable for that purpose, but if your Fellow would give a written instruction to his bankers to pay the subscription it would serve the purpose. I think however that it would save possible confusion if he instructed his bankers to pay the subscriptions either to you or here, and not direct to our bank.' |
