| Description | 'Dear Sir, I am directed to say that Professor Lapworth is extremely sorry that it will not be possible for him to write the obituary notice of Professor Francis Japp. He has already undertaken more extra writing etc. for this winter than he feels that he will be able to deal with in a satisfactory manner. He sends his regrets and apologies and trusts that you will have no difficulty in getting someone less busy and also better qualified, to write the notice, Yours faithfully, K Lapworth'. |
