| Description | 'Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter of last week asking for permission to copy certain manuscript letters in the Royal Society, I have, under the Statutes, to obtain formal sanction in the name of the Council to any such transcription as you desire of our manuscripts; but I do not anticipate any objection being raised to your request and I hope to be able to send you a definite assurance on this subject after to-morrow.' |
