Archibald Vivian Hill

William Ringrose Gelston Atkins

Paper reference code: B.121 Hopes Hill is feeling better. Has read the second part of the paper, and praises how it 'got over the criticism of 1st paper re permeability'. States that the paper is interesting and well written. Appreciates its interdisciplinarity. Feels 'responsible' for telling Allen it was publishable, as 'the referee could scarcely have been more scathing' [see RR/W/5/59]. Believes the paper to be publishable. [Not published, but part I and II published in the Proceedings B in 1932 and 1936].

22 March 1937 Reference number: RR/W/5/62

Paper reference code: B.121 Hopes Hill is feeling better. Says [James] Gray revealed himself to be the referee. E J [Edgar Johnson Allen] had 'thought it could not possibly be' Gray. Will not tell E J [Allen]. Believes Gray's opinion on the importance of the paper to hold more weight than his own. Thinks the paper should be withdrawn, despite own views [see RR/W/5/62]. [Not published, but part I and II published in the Proceedings B in 1932 and 1936].

03 April 1937 Sender: James Gray Reference number: RR/W/5/63
