Sent H. Waite to K. Pearson, 3rd Feb. 1916.
3 Feb 1916
Description:

‘Dear Sir,

Thank you for sending Sir W. Herschel’s letter which I now return.

It is very gratifying to know that my paper has met with so much appreciation in such a quarter but I cannot help feeling that if Sir William had known how much of the credit was due to the guiding hand on which I relied throughout the work he would have adopted a slightly different tone towards myself & my efforts.

I hope you will not forget me & at any time I can be of service to yourself or your department although I cannot hope ever to wipe out the debt of gratitude I owe you.

I am, Sir,

Yours faithfully,

H. Waite.’
