| Title | Letter from Walter Morley Fletcher, Medical Research Council, York Building, Adelphi, London, to [William Bate] Hardy, Secretary of the Royal Society |
| Date | 22 May 1922 |
| Description | Refers Hardy to the letter from Sir William Rice Edwards, making Edwards' position clear to the Royal Society and his condemnation of the Bombay Government. Fletcher has informed Edwards that the Royal Society's Council is considering the situation. Fletcher believes that the Royal Society should act quickly, in part to help Edwards in supporting [Neil Hamilton] Fairley. Fletcher has written to Sir Dorabji Tata and he believes that Tata has acted correctly in that the Bombay Government broke faith with him. [James] Jeans has suggested that Tata might anyway be induced to maintain Fairley as an independent act of generosity. But it remains the duty of the Bombay Government, or failing that, the Government of India, to honour the pledges given to Fairley. Tata should not be asked until the Governments have failed to do this - 'notwithstanding the sordid stories of the rebuffs given him for the past ten years, culminating in the present catastrophy'. |
