Informs him that Professor [John] Stanley Gardiner is tired of editing the paper, calling it 'a most d - - - - d paper from my point of view, it has given me months of work', and writing that 'I have never had a worse paper to report upon, as it contains much reading of literature and close concentration'. 19 June 1925
