Date:22nd of June 1891
Description:A further letter arrived from Breary on June 22nd 1891 noting that he had been ‘officiating at the Handel Festival’. Wright had telegraphed Breary about various matters including the role of George Granville William Sutherland-Leveson-Gower (1828-1892), the third Duke of Sutherland, in the Aeronautical Society. Breary writes ‘the Duke whose name is so prominent in the Society, has every excuse to go as Vice President of it’. Wright’s telegram had presumably accepted Breary’s invitation on behalf of the Duke to go and see Maxim’s experiment. Breary directs the Duke to ‘drive right into Baldwyn’s Park, a mile and a half from Bexley Station’. From there he would see an ‘enormous shed’ which contained Maxim’s equipment.
