Letter to Frederick Orpen Bower from Robert Harrison asking if he would be willing to comment on a paper to appear in Philosophical Transansactions of the Royal Society entitled The Fossil Floras of the Wyre Forest, with Special Reference to the Geology of the Coal Field and its Relationships to the Neighbouring Coal Measure Areas by Edward Alexander Newell Arber. Includes details of Bower's reply on reverse in which he stated that he was reluctant to comply with the request as he has no special knowledge of the subject and that he had reason to believe that Arber did not welcome opinions which differed form his own.
