TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to John Aitken FRS, Ardenlea, Falkirk
Date24 July 1911
Description'I am obliged by your letter of Saturday. As you surmise, the special effort for completing the collection of photographs of Fellows is on the part of Messrs Maule & Fox, and they have no authority whatever to pose as acting on behalf of the Society in asking Fellows to sit to them. I have has some complaints of this before; but it is difficult to stop them and they try to appease us by sending a copy of every photograph they take of a Fellow. We have now collected these and they take of a Fellow. We have now collected these and others into a large album, and I should be very glad indeed to add your portrait to the collection if you would be so good as to send me a copy.'
