Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to the Manager, Hotel Metropole, W.C. 'Dear Sir, In answer to your memo. [memorandum], we shall probably have our banquet on St. Andrew's Day as usual. There has been some talk of having it on the Saturday in that week, but I think it is now pretty well decided to have it on the 30th November. You may at any rate make a pencil entry against that date. Yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 17 July 1894
