Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to the Honorable Sir William Grantham, 100 Eaton Square, S.W. 'Sir, I am instructed by the President, in answer to your note of to-day, to explain that our Soiree next Wednesday is not our annual Conversazione for ladies (which will be held some time in June), but it is a Soiree to which only gentlemen are invited. I inclose cards for the two gentlemen named in your letter. I am, Sir, yours faithfully, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 28 April 1894
