TitleCopy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Sir Ernest Rutherford, FRS
Date14 February 1924
DescriptionAsks Ernest Rutherford to authorise the removal of the last paragraph of 'The large-angle scattering of a-particles by light nuclei' by E. S. Bieler as it comes across as childish and amateurish and would be in the interest of the Cavendish Laboratory where the research took place. Mentions regret at Rutherford's comments on [Henry Reginald Arnulph] Mallock's paper and that it was severely handled in discussions at the meeting, stating that it should be more carefully refereed in the future.
