Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor [Thomas Edward] Thorpe Thorpe will see by the enclosed [not attached], which was sent to him with the anniversary summons, that his application is too late. The Committee met and assigned the places yesterday, and the plan is at press. The Society shall have to place Thorpe at the side-tables unless some vacancy should occur, in which case they will transfer him to a better position. 24 November 1892
