  <dc:title>Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Lord Rayleigh, [John William Strutt]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Mr [James] Wimshurst's exhibit was to be accepted on condition that it was novel and Wimshurst's answer is enclosed [not attached]. Mr Boys offers an instrument for drawings curves, illustrative of a paper by the President [William Thomson]. Major Holden would be willing to show an electrical exhibit. Major [Percy Alexander] MacMahon offers a mathematical exhibit, tessellated pavement squares'. H A Miers offers a new goniometer made by means of Government Grant. Rix asks which of these he is to accept and encloses a programme of a French Soirée [not attached] and wonders if there is anything therein the Society ought to try for.</dc:description>
