Lane Fox helps with organization of United Services Institute's contribution to International Exhibition and selection of small arms exhibition for same venue |
Chapman, 1981: 108. |
NB However, if the following date in the Manchester Guardian is correct it is hard to see how he could have contributed to the Exhibition |

Lane Fox touring NE USA in an army capacity 6-10 April, Lane Fox in new York 11 April visits American Civil War camps 12 April visiting camps at Tappahannock and Washington 13-14 Lane Fox visiting Washington 16 April Lane Fox leaves steamer Niagara bound for Liverpool |
Chris Evans, peers. comm. from Diary of John Wimburn Laurie |
NB this is in conflict with the entry for February 1862 and entry for Spring. I think we must conclude that Lane Fox cannot have contributed to the USI's contribution to the International Exhibition AP. |
