| Description | 'Dear Professor Liveing,
The President, Lord Rayleigh, has brought here your letter of the 19th, relating to Mr Hardy's radium, and requests me to ask you whether you definitely recommend that the Royal Society should buy the 50 mgrms at the price you mention, namely £181. 10. If he has the support of your definite recommendation, as well as Sir William Huggins', whom he is consulting on the point, Lord Rayleigh would be inclined to act at once.
Believe me, very truly yours,
Robt [Robert] Harrison'. |
