Allow me, dear Mr Barnard, to send you for the Field-Naturalists Club three tickets
for the annual meeting of the Geographic Society on Monday next,
as the Club may wish to send Delegates to our Meeting. It needs not my assurance,
that we will be gratified to see Representatives of your Union, and if your meeting
had not been on the same evening as ours, we might have hoped to see many members
at the geographic meeting. Mr French
has kindly undertaken to conduct any Delegates of yours to the meeting at the Athenaeum
Hall.
