DescriptionSecretary's In letters: from Decimus BURTON, Spring Garden, London. Re: following complaints about dampness in the 'lower part' of the Society's apartments at Somerset House, Burton has sent one of his assistants to inspect the area and has reported back that it is caused by the 'maps of the Earth' which lie against the east external walls, something which Burton had actually pointed out when undertaking the alterations a year previously; recommends that Council write to the Commissioners of Woods and Works, 21 Nov 1836.
