My dear Sir,

I return to Edingh this afternoon – and shall be happy to see you, as you propose, on Tuesday.

I am desirous of getting some novelty into my Lecture on Spectrum-Analysis <1> – and look forward with great interest to your promised contributions to the history of the subject.

In great haste, Yours truly,

P.G. Tait

Notes:

1. Tait could be referring here to his work Light (Edinburgh: A & C Black, 1884), or perhaps a project which he intended but never completed. [See Doc. No: 05991].
