| Title | Letter from Henry Higgs, Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Higgs; Henry (1864-1940); British civil servant and economist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 6 July 1909 |
| Description | Larmor has received a well-deserved honour and Higgs offers congratulations. He is trying to raise £4,000 for a temporary Chair for [Herbert Somerton] Foxwell, by forty subscribers of £100, but it is uphill work. Charles Booth, W.L [William Lockett] Agnew and Higgs have each pledged £100, but he feels that 'Lombard Street' must shoulder the burden. |
