Summary:The letter begins by thanking Reade for sending his copy of his answer to the arguments presented at Bath upon the question of the level of no strain. Fisher goes on to discuss Davison's results of the level of no strain, the temperature of solidification and the age of the world, and his own calculations upon the subject. He concludes by asking Reade if he has seen the article in the last edition of the Geological Magazine on the subject of dynamical geology, as the author gives Reade full credit for the discovery of the level of no strain.
