Bestanddeel WCP/1/17 - Letter from T. W. Rhys Davids to William Claxton Peppé, 3 June 1898

Letter from T. W. Rhys Davids, Secretary, Royal Asiatic Society, 22 Albemarle Street, to William Claxton Peppé in Birdpore, in which he expresses the gratitude of the Society to Peppé for his 'careful exploration and great discovery'. The Council has decided to print his article 'as it stands' although his plans were torn in the post. Peppé's photograph does not show all the inscription, so they have sent a photograph of 'the similar Sonari vase' for Peppé to send a similar one of his own vase. He asks if he may propose Peppé as a member of the Society. Handwritten with printed letterhead, 4 sides, dated 3 June 1898.
