COKEESPONDENCE CONCERNING THE MuSEUM. 



The following letter was sent to the Town Clerk in consequence 

 of a previous communication remaining unanswered ; 



April 28th, 1888. 



Dear Sir, — (After applying for the use of the large Museum 

 Koom for a meeting on May 15th, the letter went on) — I am also 

 directed to ask that the matter referred to about the management 

 of the Museum in my letter of February 27th last may be settled 

 as soon as convenient, as there is an uncertainty about it at present 

 very detrimental to the interests of the Museum. Unless the 

 specimens are at once examined and cleaned by some practical 

 naturalist as mentioned in my letter to His Worship the Mayor, 

 and read to the Council two or three weeks ago, I do not think 

 many of them will be left in a fit state for transference to the new 

 building, whenever that may take place. 

 I am, dear Sir, 



Yours faithfully, 

 HY. ULLYETT, Hon Sec, 



Curator of the Museum. 



To the above letter an answer was received stating that the 

 matter would be brought forward at a meeting of the Museum and 

 Library Committee to be held shortly. At that meeting the care 

 of the Museum was formally taken out of the hands of the Society, 

 and the following letter was forwarded to the President. 



Town Clerk's Office, Folkestone. 



30th May, 1888. 



Dear Sir, —I am directed by the Public Library and Museum 



Committee in acknowledging the receipt of your letter to them of 



the 16th February last, to inform you that they accept the offer of 



your Committee to hand over to them the care and responsibility 



of the specimens at the Museum, High Street, and have appointed 



a sub-committee for that purpose. 



The Committee fully recognise and appreciate the value and
