TitleLetter from J. E. S. Moore, Savile Club, Piccadilly, to Sir Archibald Geikie, Secretary of the Royal Society
Date4 April 1906
DescriptionIs sorry to trouble Sir Archibald Geikie, but is at a loss with what to do with the corrected proofs of a paper for the Proceedings. Recounts how he received a letter from the Assistant Secretary and so came up to London in relation to the matter, but when he came to Burlington House at first he could not contact the Assistant Secretary, and when he did, the Assistant Secretary's 'manner rendered it impossible to proceed with the matter at all'. Cannot imagine that the Assistant Secretary reacted this way intentionally, but notes that his manner gave Moore a great deal of trouble, as he does not know what to do with the proofs.
