1. Mount Usher to be open to members of the 

 R. H.S.I, on any day other than Saturdays. Sun-

 Membershij) card, and sign the Visitors' Book. 

 They are put on their honour not to transfer their

 a party of not more than 5 (6 including the 

 member). 



4. There are certain l)arriers inside tlie garden 

 to keep visitors away from the precincts of the 

 house. Visitors will be expected not to cross these 

 barriers, and in every way to treat the place as a

 serious infringement of above conditions, Mr. 

 Walpole reserves to himself the right to iuune- 

 diately terminate this concession. 



To avoid disax)pointment, members will ]>lease 

 note that they must produce card of membership

 they visit Mount Usher. 



Tlie Council has already suitably acknowledged to 

 Mr. Walpole its appreciation of his kindness, and 

 conveyed to him the thanks of the members.
