Letter from Michael Foster, to John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, regarding a paper 'On the effects produced on the circulation and respiration by gun-shot injuries of the cerebral hemispheres' by S P Kramer and Victor Alexander Haden Horsley

Reference number: RR/12/157

Date: 16 August 1894

Description

Asks if the correspondence take the matter in hand, but doubts he will get far as the author is 'obstinate'. Doubts any editing has been done on the paper, and predicts problems with the figures. Suggests the authors remove the blood pressure discussion. Mentions a meeting in Oxford.
