14 – Postcard to Frederick Smith from Francis Galton, 17 Feb 1898

Frederick Smith’s correspondence
On this postcard, Galton writes with suggestions for Smith’s paper. He thanks Smith for his help, and writes that he has more photographs made by a friend.

[FS/3/3/2/14]

It wd perhaps be better if you explained the way at wh: you arrived at the Prob: Error, in a note to the paper.

My work was purposely devoted to the first batch & and was little more than exploratory so to speak.

Thanks again for your kind offer to help. I have a batch of photos now in hand made by a friend under somewhat different conditions. I leave England on Tuesday I hope

Francis Galton
