| Description | 'Dear Sir,
Your MS [manuscript] is to hand. Please let me know at once whether you intend it to be referred with a view to Phil. Transactions ['Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'], or whether you send it in for publication in the (8vo) [octavo] Proceedings ['Proceedings of the Royal Society']. If the former, I must trouble you for a short abstract at once for use at the meeting and subsequent publication in the 'Proceedings'.
I am, faithfully yours
Herbert Rix
