  <dc:title>Letter from Sir Joseph John Thomson, President of the Royal Society, to Sir James Dewar</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Discusses a comment that Sir James Dewar made at the Special General Meeting of the Royal Society on 7 June. Alleges that in this speech he accused those responsible for drawing up the statement on Statute XII [12], which was circulated to Fellows, of altering the punctuation in a quotation [to change meaning]. Calls this 'misleading'. Notes that the punctuation in the statement on Statute XII is identical. Suggests that Dewar has made a charge of bad faith against the Fellows of the Royal Society.
