Letter from Colonel Hoysted, Secretary RAS, to Lord Zetland, President of RAS, to say that he had unwittingly omitted the matter of the Gold Medal from the Agenda of the last Council Meeting and according to Clause 6 this may mean that the medal could not be presented that year. He had found a letter from Mr Wilson (see RAS TGM/8) regarding the rules of the medal. He asks Lord Zetland's opinion on the matter. Typed copy, dated 27 February 1931.
