| Date | c 17 October 1910 |
| Description | Summarising the present position of the task and Committee. This includes the reproduction of the plates, discussed by Mr Hardcastle and Mr Wesley; the cost estimates from the printers; the question of reprinting the original text; and disputes between Hardcastle and Wesley. Huggins describes how 'Mr H, having got much very valuable information from Mr W, proceeded to use it, in an ignorant way, without ever consulting Mr W'. Huggins recommends that Wesley be asked to join the Committee and that the costly printing is halted. |
