Abstract
I HAVE just noticed (very belatedly) that in your reprint of Dr. Fleming's admirable opening of the British Association discussion of the problems of wireless telegraphy, there occurs a passage that raises an objection to a certain mathematical result of mine. Dr. Fleming's opinion in all matters radio-telegraphic is of such great weight that his objection, whether sound or not, is sure to prejudice the fair consideration of a hypothesis I have based on the mathematical result in question, and since the objection has obtained the wide publicity of your columns while my own account of the matter has not, I trust you will allow me space to comment upon it. Comment seems especially necessary on account of Dr. Fleming's eloquent advocacy of certain rival hypotheses.
