Letter from Henry George Lyons to John David Griffith Davies, Leighton Hall near Shrewsbury Has a complete type-script of a rough draft of the history [of the Royal Society] 1640-1860 and when he gets to Oxford at the end of November, will be able to start on a fair draft of the whole. Asks if there is a spare set of 'Notes and Records' which he could borrow. Finds Leighton Hall a peaceful place. Wonders if the Record Office told Davies who translated the Charters for Weld around 1845. The next number of 'Notes' had better wait until October 1941. 17 November 1940
