Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Dr Dunkinfield Henry Scott, Old Palace, Richmond 'Dear Sir, At the last Committee of Papers Professor Bower's paper, which I understand that Mr Thiselton Dyer handed to you, was referred to you to report upon. I am not sure whether Lord Rayleigh wrote to you to tell you this, so I send this note that you may not be keeping the paper unopened in expectation of a further communication from us. Please report upon it as early as you can. Yours faithfully Herbert Rix Asst. Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 21 July 1893
