| 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 December 1908 |
| Description | He is looking forward to seeing Larmor for lunch on Saturday. He is sorry Larmor is giving up his Italian tour, and notes he would certainly meet friends in Rome at this season. Huggins then agrees with Rayleigh's view that the 'lectures' should be 'something more than a paper given in greater detail'. He notes that the point he is doubtful of is how far such a paper is controversial. He says 'in the selection of a paper for a "lecture" for the Chemical, the society might be accused of taking a side', though notes that this paper is likely not so controversial. |
