| Title | Letter from George Biddel Airy, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'On the strains in the Interior of beams' by George Biddell Airy |
| Date | 22 February 1863 |
| Description | Confirms receipt of James Clerk Maxwell's report [RR/5/6]. Thinks that Maxwell has overlooked some sentences which have influenced his conclusions. Considers each of Maxwell's points in turn. Considers that the paper is 'complete and accurate', but if Maxwell has further remarks, would be happy for these to be printed as an addendum to the published paper.
