Copy letter from John Rose Bradford, to Sir Ronald Ross, Fellow of the Royal Society The paper by Dr E H Ross on 'The development of Trypanosomes in the presence of auxetics' has been very carefully examined by both Fellows and independents, and both reports are so adverse to its suitability for 'Proceedings [of the Royal Society]' that Bradford does not feel justified in advising the Chairman of the appropriate Committee to pass it on for publication. It is thought better to withdraw the paper. 29 July 1912
