| Title | Letter from George Gabriel Stokes, Cambridge, to RH Scott |
| Date | 13 April 1884 |
| Description | Asking advice about Sir Edward Sabine's papers.
Stokes comments: "Or course it is difficult to say whether there is likely to be anything of scientific interest in letters merely from knowing who wrote them. many a letter from an eminent man may be of utterly ephemeral interest: possibly no more than a reply to an invitation. Then again letters about past squabbles, when the parties concerned are dead, are I think best destroyed". |
