Copy letter from Francis Alexander Towle, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society; to Messrs L. Messel & Co.; 31 Throgmorton, E.C.2. Writes on the subject of the [Rudolph] Messel request. Informs Messrs L. Messel & Co. that the Society will most likely invest the sum of £3715.11.4. in War Stock, however, the difficulty lies in sealing the transfers. Notes that this can only be done at a meeting of Council and the next of these is not until October. Asks if there is anyway that this can be overcome. 26 July 1921
