Oliphant (Laurence) Autograph letter signed ('LOliphant') to Dr Hamilton, reading "I ought to have notified you at the end of last year before I left England that I requested to be put back on the absent list. I hope that this omission can be remedied as I have been away from England the whole of this year and it is very uncertain how many years may elapse before I come back again. I think by the present regulation members who are permanently abroad are not required to pay any fee, but if they are, please let me know", two pages, integral blank, small residue of previous mount to last page, 8vo, Haifa, 11 April, n.y. [but c. 1880]
