| Title | Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to John Evans, Treasurer, Royal Society |
| Date | 27 April 1892 |
| Description | While Evans was abroad Messrs Drake & Gorham had an offer of £80 for the plant if accepted that afternoon. Rix wired Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt] but he thought this to low a sum, so Rix declined. Drake & Gorham say the plant is very antiquated and £80 is a good offer, the highest they had previously had was £60.
Rix saw Gorham yesterday and asked if the £80 offer was closed, Gorham thought it could be re-opened. If Evans thinks the offer should be accepted Rix asks to know at once. |
