TitleLetter from George Hartley Bryan, to William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, regarding a paper 'On the applications of the kinetic theory to dense gases' by Samuel Hawksley Burbury
Date18 July 1895
DescriptionApologises for the delay in responding to the letter [RR/12/286, first letter]. Wonders if the objection to the calculation is physical rather than mathematical. Discusses the proposed size changes to the journal volumes, and hopes this will not affect reprinting.
