  <dc:title>Copy letter from Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, B H [Burlington House], to [Lydia] Becker</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Informing Becker that the Royal Society is not open to women, and cannot be elected Fellows or admitted to meetings. He notes that [Mary] Somerville has been elected an honourary member of the [Royal] Astronomical Society, but does not think she has ever written FRAS [Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society] after her name.
