| Description | 'I have to write and thank you most cordially on behalf of the Royal Society for the assistance which you are so kindly giving to one of its Committees, I need hardly say that the subject you are engaged on is one of surpassing interest at this moment, and may I cordially wish you success in your investigations.
I am afraid you will be put to some expense in coming to London to these committee meetings; I hope you will allow the Society to make it good to you.' |
