| Title | Letter from W C D W [William Cecil Dampier Whetham], 5 St Peter's Terrace, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Dampier [formerly Whetham]; Sir William Cecil Dampier (1867-1952); British scientist and agriculturalist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 28 December 1901 |
| Description | Whetham thanks Larmor for all the trouble he has taken. Whetham has the last but one proofs, and his wife has now presented him with a second daughter. This may have made him more stupid than usual, but he does not quite see Larmor's remarks. He sketches apparatus and discusses liquid surface in a capillary, thinking he has made a stupid mistake, and asking for Larmor's advice. Whetham replies to Larmor's postcard on [Josiah Willard] Gibbs and the edges of crystals. |
