Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Edward J Bles, Marine Biological Association, Plymouth 'Dear Sir, Your card of meetings only arrived yesterday. I regret to say that the rooms on the ground floor had already been lent to another Society for the 18th inst. [instant]. You had better arrange if possible to meet at the Linnean Society or elsewhere; if this can not be managed, I will try and arrange for a room on the first floor. I am, yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 14 July 1894
