| 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 | c December 1908 |
| Description | Larmor has not been elected, the news of which has 'thrown us [William and Margaret Huggins] into infinite gloom'. He confesses thinking that Baker was 'not altogether wrong, and that the housekeeping and administrative duties, together with the active touting that would be expected of you, might prove more distracting than you expected'. He is very glad for the Royal Society, as they would not wish to lose him at this time, but notes perhaps another kind of opportunity may present itself. Huggins is grieved by the death of Lord Rope[?] from Dublin. |
