Very glad to hear Anthony Rich is leaving CD money "encouraging science in such a very practical manner".
Surprised and delighted by Mr Rich’s bequest as it will greatly increase his income. Intends to leave money to the Royal Society to contribute to science. Houses in London are a good investment even in times that are nervous for bankers.
