| Description | 'I observe that the current balance of the Scientific Relief Fund has been practically exhausted.
The Committee the other day made grants amounting to nearly £200; and I am authorised by the Treasurer of the Society to ask if you can, either by allowing this account to be overdrawn, or other means which may suggest themselves to you, enable the Fund to meet these payments until the January dividends come in without having recourse to the necessity of selling out invested income, which at the present time could only be realised at considerable loss.' |
