Letters, 1863-1896.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81972002

The letters are on letterhead of the Royal Botanic Society of London. Two of them are printed admission forms filled in with names and other information, as appropriate, signed by the secretary. One is a study permit for A. J. Elwes, initially issued on 1863 Oct. 22, signed by James de Carle Sowerby, and renewed in 1865, signed W. Sowerby. The other informs Mr. Cooper Forster that his "Ivory Tickets" are ready to be delivered (1875 Sept. 2); printed signature, W. Sowerby. The third item is a two-page handwritten circular to periodical publishers signed by Secretary G. B. Sowerly. It invites them to send copies of their publications to the Botanic Society's reading room, in exchange for tickets sent "before each show for reporting purposes" (1896 Feb. 19).
