TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to the Manager, Western Union Telegraph Co, Arundel Street, WC
Date10 March 1913
Description'On Friday morning last a cablegram was brought here addressed to Professor Schuster, one of the Secretaries of this Society who lives in Manchester. In order to lose no time I gave Professor Schuster's Manchester address to your messenger, and said that the message was to be telegraphed on direct. I did not open it. This message did not reach PRofessor Schuster till 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. In response to telephone enquiries from here, we were informed by your office that the message had been "hung up" in Machester. I do not know what the hanging up of a message in one of your offices means no how it can be justified, but I certainly think that serious enquiry should be made into the matter from your head office and an explanation furnished.'
