Unpublished letter, regarding Wildbore's paper from Cha [Charles] Wildbore to Sir Joseph Banks
Reference number: AP/7/28
Date: 12 December 1788
Description
Wildbore thanks Banks for a letter containing kind remarks on his manuscript on spherical motion (see AP/7/16). He states that he waited to respond to the letter until he had further elucidations on his paper, but writes that he had decided to rewrite the paper entirely with new elucidations and alterations.
A mostly illegible ink inscription bottom left in another hand discusses 'elucidations' and includes the date 'Decr 18 88'.
Subject: Physics / Mathematics
Written by Wildbore in Broughton [Upper Broughton, Nottinghamshire, England] and addressed to Banks at Soho Square, London.
