TitleLetter from T W [Thomas William] Holderness, India Office, to Sir J [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorHoderness; Sir Thomas William; first baronet (1849-1924); British official of the Indian Civil Service
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date4 November 1913
DescriptionHe thanks Larmor for his valuable suggestions. He lists points concerning the functions and governance of the [unnamed] committee, thinking that the Observatories Committee of the Royal Society might be a model. He thinks that one sentence of Larmor's letter does not do the Government of India justice, referring to the possible cutting of the scientific work of the Great Indian Trigonometrical Survey, something which was never proposed.
