Hope Entomological Library, Oxford University Museum of Natural History: ARW 90
Summary:

ARW states that he will not assist with the election of Dr. Dixey to F.R.S, as he hasn't attended any meetings of the R.S. It would be an imposition to write to Lord Rayleigh on Dixey's behalf, as ARW does not know Lord Rayleigh.
