Title Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to Professor [Arthur] Schuster, Secretary of the Royal Society
Date8 January 1913
Description'Re Papers.
Mr Bousfield is getting anxious about his paper. He wants urgently to publish some of it soon. You may remember that the first referee's report upon it (Porter) favourable; the second (Lees) was unfavourable. Can we di anything but wait for a Committee meeting? Dr Lees was in this week and I told him there ought to be a Committee meeting soon. He gave me a second referee for Marchant's paper.
There are several papers now awaiting the Committee, and the recent Armstrong papers are in a state of suspended animation. I think you were misled by out postcard about the length. Neither paper y itself exceeds 12 pages.
Mr Hardy has reported favourably on Prof Young's paper on "The theory of integration" and it will be a great relief to the author's mind if it can be passed for publication. The referee kept it more than a month.'
