| Title | Letter from Harold Jeffreys to [Frank Edward] Smith, regarding a paper 'Tests of statistical hypotheses which are unbiassed in the limit' by [Jerzy] Neyman |
| Date | 4 March 1938 |
| Description | Paper reference code: A.10
Asks for permission to discuss the paper with [George Udny] Yule. Explains that has read the paper on three occasions, and recites a limerick to express that the quality of it reduced each time. Outlines the broad spectrum of interpretation among statisticians. Suggests [Alexander Craig] Aitken may be the best option as a referee.
