Copy letter from C R [Charles Richard] Weld, the Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society; to Sir R Munchison Asks, when the opportunity arises, for Munchison to apologise to M. De Chaillu, as Weld had mistaken him for a workmen, sent to set up an exhibit for the Royal Geographical Society, only for him to announce he was the lecturer for the evening as he was leaving. Concerning the specimen left by the portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds, found the damage caused to the frame was from nails. As the canvas was in danger, the specimen had to be removed, the wall has also been damaged. 26 February 1861
