Copy letter, James Hudson, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, to John George Children Hudson has referred to the Statutes but cannot find it stated that money should be paid before Council can grant an extension to the admission of a Fellow-elect. The custom has been to make payment an essential preliminary to this and Hudson cannot remember an exception. Hudson encloses the accompanying paper to Sir Thomas Phillipps' letter and a copy of John William Lubbock's letter to Sir David Brewster. 7 December 1832
