TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Frederick Orpen Bower, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date3 November 1893
Description'Dear Sir,
In answer to your letter of the 29th October, Dr Foster wishes me to tell you that we were about to put your plates into the hands of the Cambridge Engraving Co., whose work is a great improvement upon that of Mr Wesley for this kind of subject. I am to ask you whether the Cambridge firm shall commmence work upon them, or, whether you would prefer Mr Carter to do them? There is no difficulty in transferring the work to the latter, if you prefer this.
Yours truly,
H Rix
Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'.
