TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Horace Hart
Date3 June 1907
DescriptionHarrison sends thanks for the proof of the address to Sir Joseph Hooker, which he likes but will consult Sir Archibald Geikie about his view that a larger sheet with wider margins might make it look more important. Meanwhile, he has written to the printers for the block.

He also asks that they set up the enclosed address in a similar style, and send a copy printed on good paper by Wednesday afternoon. He would be thankful if they can do this in time as he needs to have it signed by the President on Thursday, so they may hand it to their delegate who is going to Bologna. If they cannot have it done in time, he asks that they telegram to that effect, so that the Royal Society's printers may do as good a job as they can. He suggests that if he is able to deliver the block to them in time, they also have it at the head of this address, though it will not need such a large initial letter as the Hooker address.
