Brown stating that he thought his wife had sent in his resignation on his behalf while he was absent on active service, and this not being the case he asked the Council to accept his resignation and to remit his subscriptions for the 1914-1919. It was resolved to agree to this request, but to ask Dr Brown to pay £2.2 for the year 1914 as he had received the Journals for that year.
