| Title | Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Mr Pilbeam, Whitehall Rooms |
| Date | 3 December 1895 |
| Description | Rix reports that they have examined the cards with their marked plan, and note that 233 guests were present, but they have been charged for 234. He explains that the discrepancy was caused by Professor [Edwin Ray] Lankester arriving without his guest and handing over two cards. Subsequently, when his guest arrived without knowing that both cards had been handed, he was counted as an additional guest.
Rix asks that they correct their account accordingly. |
