Description | Informs the Under Secretary of State that his letter has been considered, and the Royal Society, Meteorological Society, Meteorological Council, and Aeronautical Society, have all been consulted. Replies that the investigation of the upper air is of great scientific importance, and that observations carried out in Britain and India could be of exceptional interest. However, there is not enough money to do it at present, unless the Treasury are willing to defray the expenses of the suggested investigations - suggests that the Royal Society and Meteorological Council will approach the Treasury on the subject. |
