Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to the Woodbury Printing Company (Messrs Eyre & Spottiswoode), Great New Street, E.C. 'Dear Sirs, (W 133/94) I am authorised to accept the first of your two estimates, namely, that for £13-10-0 for one plate. The other, amounting to rather a large sum of money, must wait for our Treasurer's return from abroad. I should be glad if you could send for the original, as it is rather an akward thing to post. Yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 16 March 1894
