Third letter from Edward Lawton Moss, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'Observations on arctic sea-water and ice' by Edward Lawton Moss

Reference number: RR/8/128

Date: 22 July 1878

Description

Agrees that the paper should appear in the same volume of the Proceedings as it's reading. Recalculating the results of Thomas Edward Thorpe and Arthur William Rucker will take about ten days. If this is too long, instead proposes to make the other recommended changes and append a note stating why the Thomas Edward Thorpe and Arthur William Rucker results were not used.

Subject: Physics and Chemistry
