Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Rev Robert Harley, Fellow of the Royal Society 'Dear Sir, I have to send your note on to the President. I am afraid there is not very much chance, as several of the Fellows have men refused this week - new members being, in the opinion of the Officers, too great. I will write again when I get the answer from the higher powers. Yours faithfully H Rix'. 8 June 1889
