Sir,

I beg to inform you that you have been elected a member of the Trinity Chess Club subject to the condition imposed by the laws of the club, that every candidate for admission before becoming an actual member, must win one out of three games played with members at a club meeting. The last meeting for the present term will take place at Mr Bone's rooms, Trinity College, on Wednesday evening next.

I am,
Your obedient servant
Alfred L Galabin
Treasurer of Trinity Chess Club

—————

The letter is undated, but since it was probably received by the person who owned the accompanying term-cards, it presumably preceded them, and the term mentioned in it is most likely to be Michaelmas 1867.
