TitleLetter from Anatole von Hügel, Croft Cottage, Barlow Road, to Sir Joseph Larmor
CreatorHügel; Anatole von (1854-1928); Austrian ethnologist and museum curator
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date7 November 1911
DescriptionHe apologises for troubling Larmor in an area outside his usual interests, especially as his Parliamentary duties must be taxing. They are at a difficult time in establishing the department on a proper basis. In the past five years they have amassed a building fund of £17,000 and von Hügel has exhausted his sources of income. If they are to continue they must find new sources. Now that his phlebitic vein has been treated, he may be ready to be more active after a break in Teneriffe. He explains the financial situation in more detail and the proposed architectural work needed, and he asks Larmor to make known their requirements in 'likely quarters', thinking that there must be Members of Parliament, learned society members, Cambridge men or others, who might contribute. Von Hügel sends their last reports and statements.
