CreatorThomson; Mary Hancock (fl.1892-1912); British
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist

DescriptionShe thinks that Larmor will not have heard of the calamity which has befallen the family, giving an account of James Thomson's wife falling from a train and being killed. She and James are now the sole survivors of the family. If it is not too late, she would like to have an appreciation of Ida's contribution to writing her father's biography. Without her help it would not have been possible for she and James to complete it.
