Handwritten letter from Sir Oliver Lodge, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street, E.C., to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 26th March 1890. Francis responds to Fitzgerald's agreement to be on the title page of the Philosophy Magazine. 2pp. Transcription: "Dear Sir I was much gratified to learn from your letter to Sir William Thomson that you had kindly acceeded to our request to allow your name to take the place of that of my friend, the late Sir Robert Kane on the Title page of the Phil. Mag., and I now forward a copy of the [?] for your approval. Sir William will I have no doubt have assured you that no monetary [?] will be incurred, nor will you find it take up much of your time; all I expect is that when you find me going wrong, you will kindly give me the benefit of your advice. Yours very truly William Francis"

Handwritten letter from William Francis, The Manor House, Richmond S. W., to George F. Fitzgerald. dated 29th January 1894. Francis asks for Fitzgerald's permission to discuss a private letter with friends, and regrets putting Dr. Gore's paper into type. 3pp. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald, I send these few lines merely to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th. The subject will require serious consideration, and I must also be allowed to consult some friends, which, your letter being headed private, I shall not do until I receive your permission. Supposing I were inclined to sell and the Physical Society in a position to buy, I do not think it would result in any advantage to the Society, but the reverse. The idea of creating a monopoly seems to me purely chimerical, as proved by the continual increase in the number of journals devoted to Physics in Germany, France, the United States and elsewhere. However I will go carefully into the matter and let you know the result. I received Dr. Gore's paper, and although not first rate, gave orders for it to be put into type - Had I known that it had been communicated to the Birmingham Society (as appears from your notice in "Nature") I should have declined it, as I have more original communications in hand than I know how to make room for - Yours sincerely William Francis"

Handwritten letter from William Francis, The Manor House, Richmond, S. W., to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 26th December 1894. Francis accepts a submission from Fitzgerald, and discusses his other decisions regarding the Philosophy Magazine. 2pp. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald I shall be much pleased to receive a translation of M. Obszesvski's paper for publication in the Phil. Mag., and have no doubt that I shall be able to find room for its insertion in the February Number. I am quite of your opinion that in any case of controversy between foreigners and our own countrymen no prejudice should be shown in favour of the latter but equal impartiality dealt out to all. Personalities must of course be avoided. I wrote to [?] Preston suggesting that he should furnish me with an English version of his Inaugural Dissertation, which he has done, and it is now being put into type. Wishing you all the compliments of the season, I am Yours sincerely, William Francis"
Smithells, Arthur, 1860-1939.
Handwritten letter from William Francis, The Manor House, Richmond, S. W. to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 28 February 1894. Francis rejects a submission for the Philosophical Magazine and expresses his unwillingness to sell the Magazine. 3pp. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald I shall be greatly obliged by your thanking Prof. Smithells for his kind offer of furnishing a translation of Van't Hoff's paper for the Phil. Mag., but I should not be able to find room for it earlier than in the May Number, and if he can follow the advice of Sir Reynolds and condense in any way, so much the better. My great difficulty at the present time is to find space for the communications already in hand. The March Number contains one sheet extra, every page of the April Number is occupied, and a good part of that for May already made up. With regard to Prof. Rücker's idea of buying up the Phil. Mag., after much consideration and advising with friends I am unable to submit any proposal. To us as printers and publishers it has a value far greater than the profit derived from its sale. In slack times it enables us to keep our best men employed, and it also helps to bring us new clients. If Prof. Rücker has any suggestions to make for improving the Magazine I shall always be most willing to consider them, and if feasible to adopt them. Yours very truly William Francis"
