Copy letter from Archibald Geikie to the President, Royal College of Surgeons 'As there is now no reason for further delay in taking steps towards the accomplishment of a fitting Memorial to the late Lord Lister, I have to ask whether you as President of the Royal College of Surgeons, together with a few leading Fellows of the College, would be willing to meet a few Fellows of the Royal Society, with the view of consulting together as to the mode of procedure, and more especially as to the formation of a large general and thoroughly representative Committee which would make the appeal to the public.' 4 May 1912
