DescriptionHas promised Professor [Arthur William] Rucker he would send a line to say that Rucker wishes to see Festing regarding the number of instruments of some historical interest which have been in the possession of the Royal Society for some considerable time, but which the Officers feel would be more usefully bestowed in the collection at South Kensington.
