Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Messrs Hampton & Sons, Pall Mall The men who ought to have come on the afternoon of 10th May to lay the new carpet did not come until the Thursday morning, after the Soirée was over. The Society would like the carpet laid for the ladies Soirée on Wednesday 7th June, after the press view, at 6pm. Rix wonders if they can manage this. 15 May 1893
