| Description | 'I have your letter of the 22nd, and shall be happy to see you at the end of next week; but it is only fair to say at once that your letter conveys an impression as to your desires different from that which I gathered from our conversation on the telephone. From that I understood that you were desirous of obtained for the use of Journals with which you are connected in America notices of the weekly proceedings of this Society at its meetings, which could be supplied by means of the weekly programme we print of the papers to be read at each meeting, and perhaps, after learning from you something more of the character of the publications you are interested in, by the weekly summary we print after each meetings; but to supply the publications of the Society for press purposes is quite another matter, and I doubt very much whether in fact our regular publications would be of much use to you, even if they were issued on any terms.' |
