TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor Arthur Schuster, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date21 June 1907
DescriptionHarrison suggests sufficient business has amassed for a meeting of the Physics Committee, and Professor Joseph Larmor wishes to have it before the last Council on 4 July, and so he suggests the afternoon of Wednesday 3, and asks what time would suit Schuster. The impossibility of holding it on the 4th is noted, with the Council meeting at midday as a Mackinnon Committee and again in the afternoon.

He requests that Schuster return the file of International Association papers sent to him at the Hotel Russell prior to his departure from England, noting that they are 'rather lost' on international business without it. He presumes that they are to receive a report from Schuster on the General Assembly, and remarks on the notable lack of information on the subject. Harrison suggests published reports give the impression that the British Academy for Philology were the only British representatives.
