| Title | Copy letter from Arthur William Rucker to Lord Kelvin [William Thomson], Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 31 January 1898 |
| Description | Believes that the previous letters of Rucker and Kelvin crossed. Rucker understands that Kelvin wishes that matters shall be left as they are and that Mr Murray shall return the paper when he has made his copy. Rucker sees no objection to this.
To avoid any misunderstanding, Rucker wants to be sure that Kelvin desires the erroneous statement in No 381 to be corrected by an erratum to the effect that the paper may read that Kelvin was the communicator. Rucker does not think that the matter is very important but he cannot say what the Council will think.
