Reference number: RR/5/14

Date: 11 August 1863

Description

The author has made some last minute adjustments to the manuscript which have not been before the Council. Suggests the Society cover the cost of four plates, which would reduce the cost to the Society to £33, and wonders why the author needs so many figures. Suggests the prints use fewer colours.
