| Title | Copy letter from Arthur William Rucker, to Mr Francis Galton, Fellow of the Royal Society, 42 Rutland Gate, S.W. |
| Date | 24 June 1898 |
| Description | Galton is already aware that the Council of the Royal Society has appointed a Committee to consider the application of the Meteorological Council for support in a request that an additional £1200 a year be granted to the Meteorological Council by the government.
The Committee (which consists of the President and Officers, Captain Abney, Professor W G Adams, Professor Clifton, Mr A B Kempe, Lord Rayleigh and Professor Schuster) has held a meeting and would like to obtain further information. Rucker therefore asks Galton with Sir Richard Strachey to attend a meeting of the Committee. A letter to the same effect has been sent to Strachey. |
