R. M. Academy, Woolwich - TSD is planning a mathematical work with Mr Potts [Robert Potts] of Trinity College. They cannot afford the expense of publication and there really is no market for such a book. It therefore must depend upon the sympathy of men of science like WW to help. Mr Potts claims 'that it is not usual, nor considered in etiquette, to ask subscriptions of this kind in the university'. Nevertheless TSD hopes WW understands him asking for support.
