Description | 'Dear Professor Capellini, Your official letter as President of the Comitato Aldrovandi has been received here. The Council of the Royal Society does not meet until the 30th of this month when your invitation will be laid before it, and I hope it may then be possible to send a representative to the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the death of Aldrovandi. The Royal Society will be happy to associate itself with those who do honour to the memory of your illustrious countryman. With best wishes, yours very truly, Arch [Archibald] Geikie'. |
