Each item 1p., 4to. The collection in good condition, on lightly aged paper. The correspondence shows the eighty-three-year-old Bramwell as an active member of the Society's Council. One letter relates a paper by 'Mr. Madgen' on 'the dwelling accommodation in London', another refers to the death of a 'charming colleague' named Cobb. Following a letter on 10 April 1901, in which Bramwell states that he does not 'quite like saying that the King is consenting to be Patron at the request of the council', the longest letter, 12 June 1901, relates to a royal visit, with instructions from Sir Francis Knollys on what to wear, information on presentations, and the comment: 'It is hoped that everyone who does attend will have his visiting card along with him to be handed to Lord Kenyon, very much in the way in which an ordinary Levee is conducted.'
