Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Lord Rayleigh [John William Strutt], [Royal Society] 'My Lord, Mr Clarke said that Mr Brennand's paper was only for pro forma reading, and that he should not furnish any abstract. If this is not right perhaps your Lordshp will kindly let me know that I may write again for an abstract in good time. Yours faithfully Herbert Rix Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 24 November 1893
