Description
He is returning the paper, which has been modified based on his criticisms. However, he is 'still rather puzzled' by it. Asks if the paper can be send to another referee, as he hasn't got time to look over it.He is sorry to 'leave the matter in so uncertain a state', but he is too overwhelmed with work.
