Copy of letter from Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society to Sir William Bragg, PRS ' When the Secretaries were here on Wednesday they discussed with the Forein Secretary the difficulty which might arise owing to members of Council being unable regularly to attend meetings. They thought that if non-attendance was due to the war such absences might not be counted against the absentees; and they proposed, subject to your concurrence, to bring before the next meeting the attached amendment to be inserted, if Council approved, in the rules governing the "procedure in the nominatin of Council". Will you please let me know if this meets with your approval? ' 23 September 1939
