TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Michael Foster
Date13 April 1889
DescriptionRix had written Foster a letter arguing against the 'great evils' which arise from lending blocks, but in the end decided 'not to be stiff necked'. He does make plain his dislike of breaking a rule kept to for many years, and cannot see the use of rules if they are frequently broken. Rix mentions that they are always ready to take clichés and not let a block leave their possession. Rix has however sent Clay & Sons the blocks 'under protest'.
