Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Professor William Grylls Adams, Fellow of the Royal Society 'Dear Sir, In answer to your note addressed to Dr Foster, he instructs me to say that he very much regrets that, owing to the crowded state of the rooms, it is quite impossible for the Officers to issue any more tickets. They have a large number of similar applications which they are obliged to decline. I am, yours faithfully, H. Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 8 June 1894
