CreatorMacdonald; Hector Munro (1865-1935); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date30 April 1913
DescriptionHe thanks Larmor for a ticket. He has asked Annan's to print 80 copies [reproducing the portrait of William Davidson Niven] with and without a lettered inscription. He saw C. [Charles] Niven and got his idea of the photograph; he thought it good apart from the hand. Mrs. [Niven] did not like it but thought it a good photograph of the portrait, although Macdonald is inclined to discount her views. William Davidson Niven thought it a good photograph and he was cheerful when Macdonald saw him on Friday.
