Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Dr M P Utudjian, Pera, Chichli, Appartement Ethem Pacha Number 10, Constantinople Thanks Utudjian for his letter of 11 May but regrets that it is an established rule of the Society never to give their opinion as a body on subjects submitted to them. The Society concerns itself almost exclusively with pure science, and is compelled to leave to the more technical societies the consideration of such questions as the application of medicine. 23 May 1905
