The Committee of the Society are prepared in addition, with the 
sanction of the Town Council, to make arrangements for occasional 
popular lectures in Science and Natural History during the winter 
to the working classes and others ; holding themselves free to charge 
(if necessary) a small admittance fee, sufficient to cover expenses. 
It would thus be their endeavour to make the Museum itself a place 
of instruction and education for the rising population of the town. 
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 
Your obedient Servants, 
Signed on behalf } C. E. FITZGERALD, M.D., President. 
of the Committee } HENRY ULLYETT, B.S8c., Secretary. 
The receipt of the above communication was acknowledged ; but 
no further reply having been received, the Secretary addressed a

Town Clerk’s Office, Folkestone, 
September 22nd, 1887. 
Dear Sir,—Ata meeting of the Public Library and Museum 
Committee, held on the 16th instant, a resolution was passed 
granting to the Natural History Society the free use of the Lecture 
Hall at the New Museum on the second Tuesday in each month 
from October to June inclusive, in accordance with the application 
of the Society.

the Natural History Society can make use of the room in compliance 
with the above resolution. 
Yours faithfully,

Society to continue its work of supervision, the offer appears to be 
not accepted.
