| Title | Letter from George W [Walker] Walker, The Observatory, Eskdalemuir, Langholm, Dunfriesshire, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Walker; George Walker (1874-1921); British seismologist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 7 November 1911 |
| Description | He knows that the Chair of Mathematics at Edinburgh is vacant, and thinks he should stand for it. He asks if Larmor would support him and let him know if there are any strong candidates. Walker is happy in his work at Eskdalemuir but his position is becoming unsatisfatory, with increased work and he thinks that £400 is not sufficient incentive to make anyone stay. The poor salary makes him want to leave. |
