| Title | Letter from John Ambrose Fleming, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'On magneto-electric induction in liquids and gases.—Part I. production of induced currents in electrolytes' by John Ambrose Fleming |
| Date | 12 November 1877 |
| Description | His work on the subject of induced current in gases has been interrupted, although initial experiments were inconclusive. Has recently resigned as Science Master at Cheltenham College and taken up a studentship at St John's College. Suggests altering the title of the paper to remove reference to gases. Will endeavour to continue the research.
