Sir Thomas Bernard, Royal Institution, [London], to James Edward Smith, at Martin, Hope & Thornley Merchants, Liverpool, [Lancashire]

Summary

The managers have declined Smith's proposal for additions to his lectures on account of not being within their finances, but have resolved to pay Smith £5 for any additional lectures, limited to 4.

[Smith noted his reply on recto of first folio]: Accepts the terms and will prepare to give 12 or 14 lectures, requests that they be on Tuesday and Wednesdays.
