| Title | Letter from T E [Thomas Edward] Thorpe, Whinfield, Salcombe, S Devon, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Thorpe; Sir Thomas Edward (1845-1925); British chemist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 29 March 1915 |
| Description | They are disappointed not have Larmor in Salcombe over Easter, but he will always be sure of a welcome. Even in that backwater, the war has depleted the place of service-age men, with seafarers gone to the Navy and docks. He describes a rifle club for vererans, territorials being billetted, and Belgian refugees. Thorpe's auxilliary yaw is finished and he takes her out, with a permit from the Custom-house officer: 'thought necessary in order to prevent me supplying the submarines lurking in the channel with petrol'. |
