Ruck, on behalf of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, expresses an interest in the Wrights' experimentation before 1903, and their apparent plan to describe it in a book. He suggests that the Wrights are surely too busy to actually write such a book, and furthermore that they would be better off entrusting an authoritative account to a scientific society. After reminding them of the renewed vitality of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, he suggests that this group might be just the one to undertake the project, and proposes sending Griffith Brewer as their delegate to Dayton.
