| Title | Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins [née; Murray]; Margaret Lindsay; Lady Huggins (1848-1915); Irish astronomical spectroscopist and photographer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); British theoretical physicist |
| Date | 11 November 1910 |
| Description | Huggins continues to defend her position regarding the perceived error made by [Hugh Frank] Newall in his article, in which he suggests that William Huggins recieved assistance on the 'theoretical aspect' from [James] Clerk Maxwell. Huggins vehemently opposes this, feeling that it is misleading, and wishes to call for a retraction. She is willing to hear Larmor's position on this but emphasises the strength of her opinion on the matter, asking 'Why are you so full of pity for Prof Newall? With - it seems to be - none for the victim'. |
