Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to George Johnstone Stoney, Fellow of the Royal Society, 9 Palmerston Park, Dublin 'Dear Sir, Your paper is to hand. It looks as though it were intended for a 'Phil.Trans' ['Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'] paper. If so, I must beg you to let me have at once an abstract for use at the meeting and afterwards for insertion in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society'. I have not heard yet whether it will be taken at next Thursday's meeting. Yours truly, Herbert Rix Asst Sec [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 16 April 1888
