Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Michael Foster, Secretary of the Royal Society 'Dear Sir, I find that the Commee [Committee] of Papers did not pass O Thomas's paper last time, so I have had to stay the issue of Proceedings ['Proceedings of the Royal Society']. The number could be published forthwith but for this. I supppose you wish me to wait till after next Thursday? Yours obediently H Rix'. 5 July 1889
