Draft letter from Alfred Bray Kempe, the Royal Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, to the Reverend Albert Ernest Sorby, Darfield Rectory, Yorkshire Kempe has consulted the Royal Society's solicitors on the matter of a signature for the £15,000 legacy of the late Henry Clifton Sorby. Few and Company advise that Sorby has been misinformed and that it is not customary to sign and hand over receipts before payment of legacies. He returns the Inland Revenue form. 8 February 1909
