| Title | Copy letter from Francis Alexander Towle, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society; to Karl Pearson, FRS |
| Date | 9 November 1928 |
| Description | Replies that despite Sr William Herschel's statement, there are no Indian documents which have been signed by the impression of the hand at the Royal Society. Does point out that [Francis] Galton in his Transactions paper of 1890 does mention presenting a document signed with finger prints at the Royal Institution, which is where there may be now. [The paper in question may be 'I. The patterns in thumb and finger Marks'] |
