| Title | Letter from Karl Pearson, on a paper 'On the significance of Bravais' formulæ for regression, in the case of skew correlation' by George Udny Yule to George Howard Darwin |
| Date | 27 December 1896 |
| Description | He has tried to complete some work on skew correlations previously but has not had the time to complete the. Therefore,Yule's discovery is of great value. Having re-read the paper, he thinks that some of the tables can be omitted. He doesn't think much can be gained by lots of compression.
