TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt], [Royal Society]
Date7 February 1896
Description'My Lord,
The enclosed came for you yesterday; I opened it this morning on receipt of instructions fom Dr [Michael] Foster to do so. Waller & Gamgee being excepted, there are only three papers on hand. Of these two (Oliver & Shields) you have marked "Wait". The only remaining paper is Ramsay & Collie, and that runs to 7 or 8 pages, so we are precluded by [faded word] from setting it up. Can the rule in this instance be set aside?
Yours truly,
Herbert Rix
Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'.
