TitleLetter from Sir David Prain; Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Surrey; to Professor [Frederick William] Gamble, FRS
Date4 February 1921
DescriptionStarts letter with 'is it concatenation or telepathy?' Notes that he [David Prain], [Frederick William] Gamble and [Arthur Robert] Hinks all appear to be thinking of the same thing, as Hinks' draft [report to the Royal Society's Council regarding the British Association's proposed oceanographical expedition, catalogued as CD/65/10] has come tonight, and Prain completely agrees with it. Discusses the draft and suggests that Gamble shows it to [Professor John Graham] Kerr and [Colonel Henry George] Lyons.
