Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Messrs Drake & Gorham, 2 Princes Mansions, Victoria Street, S.W. In answer to the Messrs' letter of 15 October, Rix had already written to Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt] asking whether he should summon an Electric Lighting Committee. At the same time Rix wrote to the manager of the syndicate to say that the six days allowed for coming to a decision was not a reasonable interval of time as a committee could not be summoned by that date. 17 October 1890
