Description:
‘My dear Pearson,
I am not sure, though I rather think this point was once spoken of, whether you propose that the paper on albinism shall deal with anything except the evidence as to heredity (& of course with that, consanguinity)?
It is very likely you may be glad to avoid the expense of printing what does not bear directly on the heredity problem. On the other hand the occasion seems a good one for dealing with other more or less medical or philosophico-medical points, for nothing like the amount & quality of material that we have has ever been collected before?
There is much to be said for keeping the whole together; on the other hand the “natural history” points that I referred to would be more appreciated & more widely read if published in an ophthalmological periodical of some kind.
It is for you to settle; & if you decide for the division I should propose that what I call my part should be held over till you had published what you wanted & that I should then do what I could, having your paper to refer to & quote from 7 the various rough diagrams & notes from which to pick out illustrative instances &c. &c. – But if you decide to publish all in one the sooner I begin the better for I am a desperately slow worker & out of doors a good deal & have other ophthalmic things on hand too; & for that purpose shall want the rough material back whenever it is done with.
I have put down on these sheets the chief points that occur to me & send them in case you can look at them before we meet; but of course there is no such urgency. Probably you will have something to alter in [sic] or add to, or subtract from, these memoranda.
Yrs sincerely,
E. Nettleship.’
