| Title | Letter from William Spottiswoode, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'On the equations of rotation of a solid body about a fixed point' by William Spottiswoode |
| Date | 3 August 1863 |
| Description | Explains the advance his new process has over existing processes. To him it was 'the most obvious and direct, although at the same time not the shortest, course of proceeding'. Hopes his enthusiasm for the new process hasn't led him too far off course.
