Entrance fees were £6, annual subscription £3 (Gage & Stearn (1988), p. 205). A letter from Tepper to the Secretary of the Linnean Society dated 19 June 1880 (Linnean Society, London, Archives, Guard Books, 1880-85, f 11) enclosed a bill of exchange for £7 and is annotated 'Secry letters | and Treas. Resp | for £6, admission fee | and £1 [illegible] of first | Ann. subs R 14/8/80'. Thus M was sending the next and presumably final instalment of £2.
Tepper was elected on 4 December 1879. For the nomination certificate, see M to the Linnean Society of London, August 1879 (in this edition as 79-08-00).
MS annotation: R 6/6 Septr.
Correspondent inferred from location and content of letter. The salutation that M uses is very unlike the forms he used in earlier letters to the society's long-serving secretary, Richard Kippist, suggesting that he may have been aware that Kippist's post was being abolished (see Gage & Stearn (1988), p. 77) and that he needed to address the letter to somebody else.
