Description | 'Dear Sir, Your memorandum of the 16th inst. [instant] was laid before the Soiree Committee yesterday, and they desire me to say that, while thanking you for your kindness in offering to exhibit, they fear that the instruments which you propose to show are of rather too technical a character for the Ladies' Conversazione. I am, yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
