Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Messrs Henry Dixon & Son, 112 Albany Street, N.W. 'Dear Sirs, The taking down of the pictures consumed a considerable amount of our housekeeper's time, and we rather grudge having to spare him again, but we feel that some consideration must be shown in a case of illness and if Mr Newman will come here again any day but Thursday or Saturday we will do our best to accommodate him. Yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 6 December 1895
