Copy letter from Sir Joseph John Thomson, President of the Royal Society, to Sir James Dewar, The Athenaeum, Pall Mall Apologises that he could not reply to Sir James Dewar's letter, and asks if Dewar did not intend to accuse those who drew up the Circular [about Statue 12] of an act of bad faith towards the rest of the Fellows. Informs Dewar that those who heard his speech [on 7 June at the Special General Meeting] came away with the conviction that he had accused the authors of the Circular of deliberately altering the punctuation. 19 July 1917
