TitleLetter from D. Lewis Poole, Royal Societies Club, St James's Street, SW, to Robert Harrison, Assistant Secretary [Royal Society], Burlington House
CreatorPoole; D. Lewis (fl 1909); Royal Societies Club
Date7 July 1909
DescriptionRegrets that he opened a letter with an enclosed cheque, intended for the Royal Society, explaining the incident took place due to the Hall Porters opening mail en masse. Claims that many letters, telegrams, and advertisements are wrongly addressed and sent to them, and believes this is due to the Royal Society not being recognised by the postal Directory of Clubs.
