Letter from Alfred Sanders, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'Contributions to the anatomy of the central nervous system vertebrate animals' by Alfred Sanders

Reference number: RR/8/135

Date: 07 July 1878

Description

Thanks the Committee for accepting the paper for publication in the Philosophical Transactions. Is sorry to find the illustrations are too numerous. Cannot see how they can be reduced in either size or number, as all are considered necessary. Asks if the Committee would allow him to pay some of the expenses. Asks is he could employ the artist that illustrates the papers of Max Johann Sigismund Schultze.
