Description | 'Many thanks for your letter. I have about another 60 pages ready to send following on what has been sent to you for the "Record [of the Royal Society]", and I expect to have by the 4th January the whole of the tabular list of Fellows, occupying about 140 pages of the old book. This should, I think, in any case be sent first in slip, so that there would be no harm in sending it on to you out of turn. We shall however be closed the whole of the next week so I hope you won't hold me to a rigid date for sending you the next batch of copy.' |
