CreatorBoyd-Carpenter; Lucy (fl 1917)
Date27 February 1917
DescriptionAcknowledges previous correspondence and accepts that war work takes priority. States that if the Royal Society cannot at present investigate the phenomenon of automatic writing, and its claims of being communications from the spirit world, they should suggest a Society which can deploy resources for the investigation. Maintains that this "obscure subject" is in urgent need of scientific investigation, either to prove or disprove the possibility.
