Handwritten letter from John Perry, Leonard Street, London, to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 13th February 1893. Perry discusses a mutual acquaintance. 4pp. Sir Fitzgerald Thank you for writing - I was worrying myself. "The Electrician" manager tells me that he is quite sure J O.H's not having made any other [?] them from him + the total amount in [?] £120 during the last four years. A. W. Heaviside has obtained from the Devonshire banker who knows exactly O.H's income, the information that during last year he received [?] £51....... (I haven't the letter in my pocket so I cannot give you the shilling and pence). I think this will be enough information for the committee God knows I have felt very mean once or twice I'm trying [?] Of course if the committee give the money it will be on account of poverty. Nobody beyond ourselves and the committee need know of this. I'm speaking to Trotter and other I always put it "a grant from the R.S and possibly, a pension" But he may be very angry if he accepts and afterwards thinks that we have in any way deceived him into accepting charity. Rayleigh says that if he will ask for a grant (or possibly if we ask for him but he is not sure of this) of money to buy books or [?] for any specific investigation or kind of investigation (it need not be specified with too much exaction he will certainly obtain a grant from the other fund. I wonder if he would consent to deliver a course of say eight special evening

Handwritten letter from Katie Preston to George F. Fitzgerald, written from the Preston home in Bardowie, Orwell Park, Rathgar, County Dublin on behalf of her husband, Thomas Preston. He is unable to attend the upcoming meeting of the Council of the Royal Society, where he is to receive the Boyle Medal. The Prestons ask Fitzgerald to act as his representative and accept the medal on his behalf during the presentation. Katie writes that Fitzgerald was a “constant friend” to Preston and influenced his scientific career. She concludes that Preston’s health is “gaining day by day” and they trust that “no drawback will happen.” The date of the meeting is not yet known, but Dr Joly will confirm the details [Preston died of a perforated ulcer less than 2 months later]. 3pp.
