TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Dr William Huggins, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date2 April 1889
DescriptionRix reports that Mr James is an expert in the management of the electric lantern and so they can show his slide without difficulty. He explains that the lantern's carrier takes a slide as in the slips enclosed, but by using the projector they can show a smaller slide, or any size within reason.

Rix sends a copy of the Soirée programme [not included] for May 1888 for Huggins to keep.
