Letter from Richard Clarke, Treasurer, to Sir William M.G. Colebrooke and Sir George W. Anderson to remind that, though subscriptions for overseas members are one guinea, when members return to Britain they must pay 3 guineas per annum. Therefore they are sent 'blank forms' for completion which should be returned to their bankers. They are also sent a card showing the Society's meetings. (Found on page 237)
