| Title | Letter from Karl Pearson, on his paper with Louis Nepoleon George Filon 'Mathematical contributions to the theory of evolution.— IV. On the probable errors of frequency constants and on the influence of random selection on variation and correlation' to the Secretary of the Royal Society |
| Date | 23 October 1897 |
| Description | He has read Sheppard's paper on normal curves and believes that it does not clash with their paper enough to withdraw it. Their method is very different and only a few results are identical to Sheppard's. He wishes this letter to be attached to their paper when it is sent to members of the sectional committee.
