Autograph Letter Signed to unnamed male correspondent (John Tyndall?).

Two pages, octavo. Good, apart from damage and loss to one edge caused by removal from mount. Would appear to relate to the controversy between the surgeon Sir Henry Thompson (1820-1904) and John Tyndall (1820-1893), held in the pages of Strahan's 'Contemporary Review'. Reads 'I herewith send you the proof of your reply to Sir Henry Thompson | Please revise and return it tomorrow. | You will observe that I have made it a substantial paper instead of a Letter to the Editor<.> We dislike the latte form, especially in a case of this importance, and where the reply is so full.' Signed 'A. Strahan', with last two letters of signature partly obscured by remains of mount. For the controversy between Tyndall and Thompson see Srebrnik's 'Alexander Strahan, Victorian Publisher' (1986), page 128.
