TitleLetter from Alfred Young, Birdbrook Rectory, Halstead, Essex, to Sir Joseph Larmor
CreatorYoung; Alfred (1873-1940); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date28 October 1925
DescriptionYoung has received seventy pages of manuscript from [John Hilton] Grace, the two new chapters he had proposed writing for their book. Young has glanced at it and it seems to be in his best style. He has sent a £2 cheque and waits for Larmor's instructions. He thinks it a good sign. Young is about to stay in Brighton and letters will be forwarded. He has heard from Peterhouse that Grace's two brothers had written for his address. Grace will inherit something from his father's will, which is still confidential, and which makes Young anxious. Grace must have heard from the lawyer but this has not stopped the algebra.
