Description
Apologies for returning the paper so late - the delay has been caused by the sudden illness of his wife. The paper is carelessly written and require detailed consideration. The paper should be sent directly to the printers but the summary should be altered before this. The title could be changed.
[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1949 with the title 'The transformation of the nitrogen isotope of mass 15 into carbon and helium by bombardment with protons'].
Endorsed on recto as received 12 July 1949.
