[General] Strachey at last, & have sent Mr Michie Smith's letter to the Astron. [Astonomer] Royal HR Dear Sir Gabriel. Enclosed herewith I send a spare copy of the Council Minutes for April 26, 1888, which contains what you want. I have heard nothing about the telescope since then. I have written to Capt. Abney, who had the matter in hand, to ask how it now stands. Yours truly Herbert Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 1 October 1891
