Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to John Rose Bradford, 30 Blomfield Street, Upper Westbourne Terrace, W. 'Dear Sir, I am afraid my note was ambiguous. I did not want your assurance that you would properly apply the money, which is a matter of course; I only want to know when you were ready to commence work. We do not generally send the cheque until the money is wanted. As soon as you let me know that you are ready to use the money it shall be sent. Yours faithfully, Herbert Rix Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 30 January 1889
