[Russell John Reynolds, radiologist and inventor.] Two Typed Letters Signed to the Secretary, Royal Society of Arts, London, the first concerning the Röntgen Society and the second agreeing to become a Fellow of the Society.

Despite the fact that Reynolds and Crookes’s X-ray apparatus is now in the Science Museum at South Kensington, Reynolds has no entry in the Oxford DNB, although Crookes’s entry can be consulted. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Both folded several times. Both 1p, 4to, and both signed ‘Russell J. Reynolds’. ONE: Addressed to G. K. Menzies of the Royal Society of Arts. With recipient's red pencil tick. Having received his letter ‘enclosing a copy of the list of Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts’, he undertakes to send a copy of the ‘revised list of the Members of the Rontgen Society’, which will soon be published. ‘I am sure the Members will appreciate any invitations you may send for meetings.’ TWO: Addressed to the Secretary, Royal Society of Arts. With date stamp of receipt, and short shorthand note in pencil. He is grateful to ‘the Council of the Society for nominating me to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts. It will give me great pleasure to become a Fellow. Of course, I well know of its activities, but it is many years since I attended a meeting.’ He thanks him for sending a copy of the programme of lectures, and asks for a ‘specimen copy of the Journal’. He is returning the completed ‘form of Fellowship’.
