TitleLetter from H M [Hector Munro] Macdonald, 52 College Bounds, Old Aberdeen, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorMacdonald; Hector Munro (1865-1935); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date1 September 1908
DescriptionHe apologises for the delay in forwarding the enclosure [not present] but while in Switzerland he could not compose the note and he had no way to verify certain facts. His note should make everything clear. He was sorry, but not surprised, to hear of the death of Larmor's Master [of St. John's College, Charles Taylor] and he notes the new appointment [of Robert Forsyth Scott]. Macdonald is starting for Dublin that afternoon and looks forward to seeing Larmor there [at the British Association meeting]. He describes the weather in Switzerland and his holiday experiences there. He fears he will have a rough crossing that evening.
