TitleLetter from Karl Pearson, 7 Well Road, Hampstead, to Sir Michael Foster, Secretary of the Royal Society
Date5 February 1902
DescriptionInforms Sir Michael Foster that he [Pearson] has looked at [William] Bateson's volume, and is ready to reply to Bateson's criticism that appeared in the Proceedings. Thinks that Bateson's paper ought not to have been published, as it is a highly controversial article which is very ephemeral in character, and Bateson has a non-mathematical mind. Worries that its publication in the Proceedings gives it the approval of the Royal Society. Sends his [Pearson's] reply to Bateson.
