TitleCopy letter from Archibald Geikie to [James] Dewar
Date4 December 1908
Description'Dear Dewar,
As it would be a "sin", you say, to break up Thorpe's radium chloride, I certainly don't want to begin my duties by branding myself a sinner. So we shall make other arrangements, and you can go on with your experimental work.'
