  <dc:title>Copy letter from Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, B H [Burlington House], to J [Joseph] Durham</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Confirming that the portraits of [Isaac] Newton and [William] Harvey will not permitted to be taken out of the custody of the Royal Society [so that Durham may sketch them]. However, White notes that the Society will be happy to facilitate Durham doing so on the premises of the Society. He notes that the Society has an 'excellent' engraved portrait of Newton to show Durham, but suggests visiting the Royal College of Physicians and the University College [London] for better busts of Harvey.
