Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Arthur Schuster, Fellow of the Royal Society 'Dear Sir, I am instructed to make enquiries about the Report of the Eclipse Expedition of 1886. Will you kindly inform me whether yourself, Capt. [Captain] Darwin & Mr Thorpe were stationed at the same point of observation; whether each of them will finish a report; or, whether I am to expect a joint report, & ^if so^ when it is likely to arrive. I am yours faithfully, Herbert Rix Asst. Sec. RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 26 July 1888
