Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Michael Foster, Secretary, Royal Society 'Dear Sir, Sir James Paget wishes to know whether all the members of each board should be F.R.S's [Fellows of the Royal Society] except of course the ex officio President of other societies. I believe his difficulty is in finding an Irish F.R.S. for Board G. Wishing you the compliments of the season. I remain, yours obediently, Herbert Rix'. 1 January 1889
