Scope and content

A 16-line poem entitled 'Tis Sixty Years Since', beginning with the line 'In the vain and everlasting flux and efflux of existence,' signed 'L. C. H.' The handwriting has been identified to be of Lionel Charles Hopkins, who served as the Vice President and a Councillor of the Society. Text on the other side of the document, in a different hand, reads 'Mrs E. Clark at 49 De Laune Street, Kennington', who appears to be the recipient of the document, from 'G[eorge] Justin Lynskey, KC, New Court, Temple'.
