| Description | 'In the end of July last you were good enough to write informing the President that the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon had authorised the despatch of a number of publications of the Academy to this Society, with a view to establishing an exchange of publications.
Since the receipt of your letter we have been on the lookout for the arrival of the parcel of books, but up to the present time no such package has arrived here. If you would kindly inform me by what channel and at what date the books were despatched and how they were addressed, enquiries shall be made at this end.' |
