| Title | Letter from Sir Joseph John Thomson, President of the Royal Society, to Sir James Dewar |
| Date | 23 June [1917] |
| Description | Discusses a comment that Sir James Dewar made at the Special General Meeting of the Royal Society on 7 June. Alleges that in this speech he accused those responsible for drawing up the statement on Statute XII [12], which was circulated to Fellows, of altering the punctuation in a quotation [to change meaning]. Calls this 'misleading'. Notes that the punctuation in the statement on Statute XII is identical. Suggests that Dewar has made a charge of bad faith against the Fellows of the Royal Society.
[Back of the letter contains part of another letter addressed to Sir Joseph John Thomson.] |
