Typed Letter Signed to G. K. Menzies, Secretary, Royal Society of Arts.

British zoologist (1864-1945), Secretary of the Zoological Society of London, under whose guidance Whipsnade Zoological Park was created; attached to Department of Military Intelligence during World War I, and 'chiefly responsible for the distribution of propaganda behind the German lines' (Who's Who). One page, quarto. Very good on creased and ruckled paper. Docketed and bearing Royal Society of Arts stamp. Signed 'P. Chalmers Mitchell'. He is just back from holiday and is sending an Honorary Admission to 'Mr. William Perry - your Assistant Secretary. | I am much obliged to you for what you tell me about Mr. Shepherd, but I am afraid it would be impossible for us to give Honorary Admissions to everyone who writes about the Zoo. We are not an endowed Society, but depend entirely on Gate-money and Fellows' subscriptions. I am writing a note, however, to Mr. Shepherd.'
