reduced tickets for such purposes as Fishing and Golf, so that we feel that 

 we are not without considerable precedence in urging the petition of our 

 Fellows upon you. 



The 2,725 signatures of our Fellows are filed at the office of the 

 Society, and will at once be forwarded for your inspection if it is your 

 wish. 



A complete list of the Fellows of the Society is enclosed. 



May we express the hope that your Committee will consider with 

 favour this application from which so large a community will benefit, and 

 which we cannot but believe will react in benefit to the Companies ? 



The Secretary of the Society will be pleased to meet you at any time 

 if you desire it to discuss the details of how this matter can be carried 

 out, or we will appoint a deputation to wait upon you. 



Signed on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society, 



Trevor Lawrenck. 

 President.

Dear Sir, — Your letter of the 17th September last, asking that reduced 

 fares be granted to Fellows of the Royal Horticultural Society visiting the 

 fortnightly Flower and Fruit Shows of the Society held in London, has 

 been considered by the Railway Superintendents in conference, and I am 

 desired to inform you that they regret they are unable to see their way to 

 accede to the application. 



Yours truly, 



T. Mansfield.
