Title
Copy of a letter from Ross to Sir Michael Foster, Secretary, Royal Society
Date
30/5/1903
Description
Regrets that the matter of WT Prout's letter should be 'so hurriedly and irregularly disposed of' despite protest from himself, RW Boyce and CS Sherrington. Until he is given an opportunity to reply he will refuse to have anything to do with a commission of investigation as the work in Sierra Leone was privately organised.
