| Description | 'Dear Sir,
I am sorry for the delay in answering your letter of March 6th. We have only this morning found a copy of the portrait of Sir Humphrey Davy which you left with us. It has been misplaced in our large collection. Shall we pack your copy of the portrait and send it back to you by Parcels Delivery Co., or keep it here until you are sending this way?
I am, yours truly,
H Rix
Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
