W.A. Robotham Esq.,

Dear Sir -

Following our interview of the 4th. May I obtained Prof. Morgan's permission to forward the enclosed specimens of my work during my last year at the University here.

Within card-board covers you will find the thesis which I presented for my degree. I have also forwarded an investigation which I made into the balance of an unusual type of engine which interested the Professor at the time, (I have, unfortunately, only a rough copy of this work), and my attempts to derive a reasonably accurate formula for the rate of heat dissipation from a radiator.

These efforts are entirely original.
