Letter from W [William] Ramsay, Stroncarraig, Tighnabruaich, to [Joseph] Larmor Ramsay gives thanks for two letters. He does not know what to do with [Ernst Hendrik] Buchner's paper ['On a mineral which retards the rate of discharge of an electroscope'] as the referees have refused to publish it. He would like to have a 'pull' copy for reference. Ramsay will repeat the experiment, but has had no time to do so, but any publication would be a note saying that Buchner and [Walter Sydney] Lazarus-Barlow had observed this before. Ramsay can offer no theory but thinks there is a suspicion of immorality in not publishing observations because they would tend to obscure issues. Buchner is now in Holland; Ramsay has just sent in a paper of his on Thorianite and will follow it up with an analysis made on 2 kilos, to get an idea of its unreconisable constituents. With some pencilled notes by Joseph Larmor. 8 September 1906
