M and Woolls were two of the supporters when Wintle was elected in the previous year, see M to Linnean Society of London, January 1880 (in this edition as 80-01-00c). It is not known why a second nomination was submitted. An undated obligation form (agreeing to pay the fees while a Fellow) signed by Wintle is filed with this letter and the 1880 form.
