Letters from Henry Sessions Souttar to John Burdon Sanderson chiefly regarding the design and manufacture of equipment to assist in plotting and interpreting frequency curves and discussing various methods by which this might be done. One letter to Burdon Sanderson from John Newport Langley (2 November 1852 5 November 1925; physiologist) dated 7 Aug 1903. One letter and one folio of notes in German (letter unsigned, lacks final page?) dated Leipzig, 18 Aug 1903. One letter from Carl Zeiss regarding the specification of certain equipment. One letter with an unidentified signature [(?)Smith] dated 25 Feb 1900. All addressed to Burdon Sanderson.
