Date: 21 August 1941

Description

Would like to know the order number of reference to which their invoice refers.

Royal Society replies (sent 27 August 1941) that there is no reference except the number 'u16/4' and the branch is cited as 'Ed. Branch'. Hopes this information is sufficient.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1945].
