TitleCopy letter from Arthur William Rucker, to Professor George Carey Foster, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date13 July 1899
DescriptionThe earthquake paper [possibly by Richard Dixon Oldham] has gone to Darwin but Perry, who was to be consulted, thought this was a special case in which the Society might go outside the Fellows and consult Knott. Does not think there would be any harm in obtaining a third opinion.
