Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to C E S Bishop, 20 Bucklersbury, E.C. 'Dear Sir, We close from Sunday to Tuesday inclusive, but I could see you on Friday before 4 or on Wednesday the 16th at 4.30, or any other day after that at any time you like to appoint. I may say that I hardly know whether it is worth your while to come, as I am already swamped with committees of all kinds, and am very little inclined to join any more. I am, yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 9 May 1894
