[George Gabriel Stokes]: the recipient is assumed to be Stokes as the letter concerns the referee process for the physical section of the Phil. Trans..
and most heartily recommend it for publication in the Philosophical Transactions: the paper was published as A. Matthiessen and M. Holzmann, ‘On the Effect of the presence of Metals and Metalloids upon the Electric Conducting Power of Pure Copper’, Phil. Trans., 150 (1860), pp. 85–92.
At the end of the letter a note which appears to be in Stokes’s handwriting was added: ‘1860 | Matthiessen | & Holzmann | Tyndall’.
