TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Major Percy Alexander MacMahon, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date3 May 1897
DescriptionWith reference to MacMahon's suggestion that the obituary notice of Professor Sylvester should be illustrated by two photographs, Harrison asks what the cost of such illustrations for an issue of the "Proceedings [of the Royal Society]" is likely to be; or, if not, by your giving me some further particulars which would enable me to obtain an estimate.
Believe me,
Very truly yours,
Robt Harrison
Asst. Sec. R. S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'.
