Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Charles Welch, Librarian, Guildhall Library, E.C. 'Dear Sir, I will lay your letter of 26th before the Council at their next meeting. The "Philosophical Transactions [of the Royal Society]" for five years are due to you without special vote; but those before that date are forfeited by non-application, under the old Statute (which is just superseded), and require a vote of Council. I am, yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 28 May 1894
