Correspondence regarding the possibility of the Royal Asiatic Society being given premises with the East India Association, the National Indian Associatation and the Northbrook Club.

Letter from Lord Reay to Sir Charles Lyall to say that Lyall's letter had reached him too late to submit to the Royal Asiatic Society Council that day but he is willing to sign and send on to Lord Morley. The objections against a previous proposal concerned amalgamation with the Northbrook Club but if separate habitation for the Society could be provided, that might be of benefit to the Society.

The Royal Asiatic Society leased the premises at 22 Albemarle Street from 1869-1919. These papers contain official lease documents, correspondence regarding the property and possible alternatives, and a more recent photograph.
