TitleLetter from J C [John Cunningham] McLennan, Faculty Union, University of Toronto, to Sir Joseph [Larmor]
CreatorMcLennan; Sir John Cunningham (1867-1935; British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date24 January 1910
DescriptionHe should have written to thank Larmor for Christmas greetings and the papers he sent. He was especially interested in Larmor's Bakerian Lecture and his account of Kelvin's life. He has not taken in all of the former paper, but thinks about it in spare moments. They have been kept busy since Larmor was with them, altough he has some respite in attending the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting. He notes visitors coming to see him, and asks if he can have a portrait of Larmor for the laboratory, as [Augustus Edward Hough] Love has sent one. He often sees his sisters, who live with their mother and he notes their conversation.
