Letter from James Dewar, Royal Institution of Great Britain, London, to [Joseph] Larmor [Sir Frederick] Abel's obituary ought to be taken in hand by his oldest friends and colleagues in scientific work. Dewar only came in at the end of Abel's career and he suggests [Andrew] Noble and John Spiller as participants. Spiller wrote the obituary for the German Chemical Society, and so has all the materials at hand. Noble and Dewar could advise on the section on explosives, but Spiller would be able to handle the whole. 16 October 1905
