| Title | Second letter from Mervyn Herbert Nevil Story Maskelyne, to John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, regarding two papers 'An instrument for grinding section-plates and prisms of crystals of artificial preparations accurately in the desired directions' and 'An Instrument of precision for producing monochromatic light of any desired wave-length, and its use in the investigation of the optical properties of crystals' by Alfred Edwin Howard Tutton |
| Date | 3 February 1894 |
| Description | Encloses reports, apologises that they were not ready for the meeting. Wishes the investigation had been completed years earlier, as now his eyes are not good and not fit for this kind of work.
