| Title | Copy letter from Francis Alexander Towle, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society; to Charles F. Thwing Esq., LL.D.; West 55th Street, New York, USA |
| Date | 13 January 1930 |
| Description | Answers Charles F. Thwing's enquiry about a 'universal language', which is not at present one of the works of the Royal Society. Informs Thwing that the early work of John Wilkins included an 'Essay towards a Real Character & Philosophical Language' (1668), and that Professor [Frederick George] Donnan at present is interested in the subject, but that these appear to stand alone. |
