| Description | 'Dear Sir,
Referring to your letter of March 15, accompanying a post office order for five shillings, and requesting to have sent to you photographs of Halley and Newton, I beg to inform you that the Royal Society, while the possessor of portraits in oil of Halley and Newton, has no photographs of these celebrations for sale. Both portraits have been engraved, in the past, and might possible be obtained of print sellers.' |
