| Title | Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor George Carey Foster, Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 5 October 1899 |
| Description | Strictly speaking if Foster proposes to have a meeting of the Physics and Chemistry Committee in October, next Tuesday is the official day for it. Explains why he has taken no steps about summoning such a meeting and asks for Foster's instructions.
The only two papers which at present Sir [Arthur William] Rucker thinks Foster would probably not care to decide about without the Committee are, 'Experimental Researches on the Deflections of Bent Beams; by Mr [Louis Napolean George] Filon, and 'On the Propagation of Earthquake Motion to Great Distances' by Mr R D Oldham, the reports on which Foster encloses [not attached]. Rucker has gone to Wiesbaden today and will be away at least a week but said Foster need not 'study him' in arranging a meeting. |
