TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Thomas Edward Thorpe, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date28 January 1889
Description'Dear Mr Thorpe,
I have received reports now from Messrs Perry, Schuster, Darwin, and Maunder, on the 1886 Eclipse and Mr Lockyer sends no Report. There remains Mr Turner and yourself. Can you tell me whether Mr Turner was stationed with Mr Lockyer & is therefore reportless? Can you also tell me when your report will be ready?
Yours faithfully,
Herbert Rix
Asst Sec [Assistant Secretary]'.
