| 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 | 17 September 1908 |
| Description | Huggins agrees with Larmor's suggestions and thinks it desirable, if possible, to have some preliminary understanding with [Hugh Frank] Newall or Cambridge before he writes to the C [Council?]. He has given Newall permission to sound[?] Bell and Darwin until he speaks to the Council, regarding the instrument. He states that less involvement from others is necessary, as 'No one is better able to form an opinion of the value of the instruments for research than Newall'. He then discusses the 'Jules Verne title' of the book and that he does 'not think that in his cosmical physics there is a single new suggestion which is sound'. |
