Copy letter from Sir Michael Foster to, Professor Frederick Orpen Bower, Fellow of the Royal Society The Botany Sectional Committee has had his paper 'Studies in the Morphology of spore-producing Members. No V. General Comparisons and Conclusions' under careful consideration, but feel they cannot recommend it for 'Philosophical Transactions [of the Royal Society]' in its present form. It is very long, and repetitive, and they request whether Bower would be prepared to revise the paper with a view to a material abridgement of its length. 22 May 1903
