TitleCopy letter from Sir James Dewar, to Sir Joseph John Thomson, President of the Royal Society, Homleigh, West Road, Cambridge
Date7 July 1917
DescriptionHas received a copy of the Resolution passed by the Royal Society's Council at their meeting on 5 July, which purports to answer Dewar's letter of 27 June. Notes that the President has not addressed the fact that he has changed Dewar's challenge [made in Dewar's speech on 7 June at the Special General Meeting] from 'misleading' to 'bad faith against a number of Fellows of the Society in the alleged change by them in the punctuation'. Challenges the President to give the names of Fellows who would be prepared to swear that Dewar ever used such language.
