TitleLetter from [Tempest] Anderson, 17 Stonegate, York, to the Assistant Secretary, The Royal Society, London
CreatorAnderson; Tempest (1846-1913); British ophthalmic surgeon
Date12 March 1908
DescriptionHas received, from Swan, proofs of the plates for his paper in the Philosophical Transactions. However, the transparencies are not attached, and there is uncertainty about whether Swan received the enlargements with the transparent fly-leaves that were sent to the Royal Society along with the paper. Requests assistance in ensuring that Swan receives these enlargements, emphasising their superiority over the plates he has produced.

The name of the paper is not mentioned in the letter but is likely to be: "Report on the eruptions of the Soufrière in St. Vincent in 1902, and on a visit to Montagne Pelée in Martinique. - Part II. The changes in the districts and the subsequent history of the volcanoes", Volume 208Issue 427-440, 1 January 1908.
