TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor [Ernest William] MacBride, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date10 October 1913
DescriptionThanks him for his note of this morning with the corrected statement of Professor Graham Bell's claims, which Harrison hopes to have set up. Professor Silvanus Thompson has proposed another, Professor Blondel, for the Hughes Medal, so perhaps it would be unfair to ask him to amplify another claim. Someone else may be thought of in the meantime. Sir John Rose Bradford has now handed on to Harrison a claim on behalf of Sir Edwin Ray Lankester, with MacBride's alterations which he agrees to.
