Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor Edward Hull, Fellow of the Royal Society The Royal Society Soirée having been announced in all the papers several weeks ago, about 1500 invitations having been sent out, a press view having been appointed, Wednesday being the only day when memebers of Governement and MP's can attend and more over the Soirée having been fixed long before the Albert Hall oratorio, it follows that the Albert Hall music might be changed but the Soirée 'certainly could not'. 28 April 1892
