TitleLetter from T [Thomas] Bailey Saunders, The Knoll, Staveley Road, Eastbourne, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorSaunders; Thomas Bailey (1860-1928); British critic and translator
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); British theoretical physicist
Date17 January 1914
DescriptionSaunders is grateful for Larmor's letter, containing suggestions for persons suitable for the vacancy among the Sladen Trustees created by the death of Tempest Anderson. They have met, but none of the persons seemed right; they have selected some others and he is charged with the duty of relaying to President and Council of the Royal Society that the vacancy has arisen. He asks if it would be proper to recommend two or three suitable people.

In a postscript, Saunders notes that Anderson left half the residue of his estate to the Trustees, around £25,000, bringing the fund up to £45,000. He expressed the wish that subjects would include pathology and therapeutics.
