Letter from J W [John William] Nicholson, Strand Cottage, Winchelsea, Sussex, to [Joseph] Larmor It will be pleasing to see the Press announcements on [Richard Cockburn] Maclaurin's book and he wonders if editors will get two presentation copies. He writes with regard to his Adams Prize essay of 1919. The paper in the Royal Society Proceedings completes the essential parts of the essay, with the last two Philosophical Transactions papers. The press has undertaken to publish all he has to say as a treatise on spheroidal harmonics, with a note that it is founded on an Adams Prize essay. It would be best to declare that it is effectively represented in the three published papers. He asks Larmor to sanction him drawing the prize money. He has the manuscript almost ready for the press and it contains much that was not in the original essay. He notes the publishing problems and will come over of these require a verbal discussion. 8 January 1925
