Thanks for reprint. The Fund is now £236 & Marchant2 wants to issue order for Medallion. But I don’t agree: we ought not to start till we have £300. Can you whip in some (or all) of the unpaid promises to you? All mine are paid in. Miss B.3 is in town & is going to bring some boxes of Java butterflies for me to hand over to you for Hope Museum. She will let me know the history of the collection. I will raise my subscrip. to £5-5 if you like.

R. M.4 [signature] Frightfully busy!
