Date18 November 1885
DescriptionOn looking over the Council list Joule finds that Schuster was right, and thinks he is now liable to misplace facts owing to his age. He has found some copies of [Joseph John] Thomson's and his papers which Schuster may like to have and a similar set for Reynolds. He refers to a note in the reprint of Thomson's Mathematical and Physical Papers, quoting it, and stating that this belongs to a different page, which he has marked.
