Being desirous of admission into the ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, We, the undersigned,
recommend him as likely to become a useful and valuable Fellow.
Dated this day of 189

The date has not been filled in; the details were completed by M, with other supporters
autograph signatures. The date assigned, the earliest it is likely to have been sent,
is estimated from the date of the formal proposal; compare nomination certificate
for J. J. Foster, 3 July 1890. Given the summer recess, this nomination for Milroy
could have been sent at any time between July and September 1890. M's letter to the
Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 24 July 1890 (in this edition as 90-07-24a) suggests that the form had been sent by then.
