Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to A [Arthur] E [Everett] Shipley FRS 'Dear Mr Shipley, A decision with regard to Mr Drew's paper cannot be arrived at until the Botany Committee has met and I have only just been able to arrange for a meeting on the 19th instant. The principal cause of the delay has been the absence abroad of the Chairman of the Committee. I will communicate with you with regard to the paper at the earliest possible moment.' 9 July 1909
