| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 13 February 1906 |
| Description | Huggins notes his interest in the papers Larmor has sent to him and is glad that the Royal Society's circular has not been forgotten. He says the photographer has sent him 'splendid' prints. He discusses the astronomical candidates, from which he feels [Philip Herbert] Cowell is the strongest. However, as [Edward Walter] Maunder has been up for the position six times, [William Henry Mahoney] Christie feels that he should be first, so Huggins will mention his name for consideration. He says the radium work is 'exasperatingly slow'. |
