Autograph Letter Signed to Mr [?] Grinling.

Fellow of the Linnaean Society, Naturalist and first curator of the Letchworth Museum. 2 pages, 8vo, in good condition, but with slight damp damage to one margin not affecting text. Closely written. 'I thought you would like to know that our Naturalist's 'Society' & Museum here are progressing & I believe we are doing a good educational & scientific work, even in war time. | We now have a membership of 220'. Goes into detail about grades of membership. 'We should welcome you personally & should also like someone associated with the G[reat]. N[orthern]. R[ailway]. which serves the town to be connected with us.' 'Now for a personal matter. I have a boy of 14 1/2 who is at present attending Hitchin Grammar School. I shall probably keep him here until he is 16 but in the meantime I am looking for an opening for him later on. His bent is engineering, more particularly on onne of our railways, and it has occurred to me you might be good enough to be of service to me as regards the G.N.R.'
