TitleLetter from Robert Harrison, the Royal Society, Burlington House, London, to [William Whitehead] Watts
CreatorHarrison; Robert William Frederick (1858-1945); Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society
RecipientWatts; William Whitehead (1860-1947); British geologist and educationalist
Date14 December 1915
DescriptionGiving his hazy recollections of the keys to the Royal Society Club box, neither of which was a Bramah key. He thinks that Dr Waller had the keys out twice, but those in Harrison's custody were for one pair of boxes only. Major Lyons was the last person responsible, sending for the boxes to deposit them in the bank. Robertson thinks that it would be preferable to leave keys in the custody of the Royal Society's President in future, since he would always be a member of the Club.
