On headed notepaper, Philosophical Institution, Queen Street, Edinburgh. - The Directors and members of the Philosophical Institution are very glad that Milnes is to visit the Institution; discussion of possible dates. The 'chief object' of the Institution is to 'foster and encourage the growing taste for Literature Science and Art', and 'they feel assured that, in laying before you this invitation, they are addressing one whose sympathies are in full accordance with that object' and think it will be pleasing to Milnes to see what the Institution is achieving. Adds, as postscript, the desire for a prompt reply.
