Description | 'I gather from a report that reached me from the office that Sir John Bradford left word on Thursday night for the paper by Mr L Barlow to be sent to you for perusal, and it has accordingly been sent in proof. I have no referred it to you as a referee in the ordinary form, because it has passed that stage, having been marked for Proceedings by a Secretary; and the author has been informed accordingly; but I presume, from its being sent out again for perusal, that there is a doubt about publication, and it will not proceed in that direction until we hear from you. I mention these circumstances because I do not know whether Sir J Bradford made you acquainted with them.' |
