Letter from Alan Lloyd Hodgkin, on a paper 'The role of specialized nerve terminals in cutaneous sensibility' by E Hagen, H Knoche, D C Sinclair and G Weddell, to D C Martin

Reference number: RR/78/77

Date: 14 December 1952

Description

Paper reference code: B56

Hodgkin remarks the paper is largely anatomical and therefore feels he is not a suitable referee. However as the paper is communicated by Professor [Wilfrid Edward] le Gros Clark and if he is satisfied, Hodgkin suggests the paper should be published without another referee.

Written at 14 Bentley Road, Cambridge [England].

[Published in Proceedings B, 1953].

Endorsed on recto as received 16 December 1952.
