| Description | 'Dear Sir,
I have submitted your suggested exhibit to the members of the Soirée Committee, but they are of opinion that it would not be very suitable for our Ladies' Conversazione. I must beg, therefore, with many thanks for your kindness in offering to exhibit, to decline the offer on the present occasion.
I am, yours truly,
H Rix
Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
