TitleLetter from Charles Scott Sherrington, to Sir Archibald Geikie, Secretary of the Royal Society
Date26 November 1906
DescriptionInforms Sir Archibald Geikie that if Mr [Charles] Walker made the accusation [of corruption in the Royal Society] that Geikie's letter suggests, then Charles Scott Sherrington would consider it so reprehensible that he would break relations with Walker. But has seen Walker in person and has yet to learn that anything he said, even in heat, carries the accusation mentioned. Considers the dispute between Walker and Mr [Robert] Harrison surprising and distasteful. Urges Geikie to invite Walker to a personal interview to explain himself.
