| Description | He thinks Boys will be wondering what Rayleigh has done with the quartz fibres. He has suggested that some be made at the Royal Institution but there have been difficulties and he outlines these. Meanwhile he has been ill and has not recovered. Therefore he has decided to send his theoretical work for publication, without doing observations. These might be done by Boys. |
