Is sorry Minchin did not find any of the instruments at the Society suitable for his use and authorizes him to purchase the three and two millimeter Zeiss lenses at £20 each, and the two ocular 12 and 18 at about 30 shillings each. All bills for instruments and materials should be sent to the Society. Asks for a note of the price before Minchin orders the dissecting microscope.
