| 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 | 7 February 1920 |
| Description | Thorpe is glad to learn that Larmor has been able to examine the [Henry] Cavendish manuscripts for the areas he has taken in hand, and that the results are with the printers. The whole volume will be of interest, and Thorpe is astonished at Cavendish's intellectual power and range. [George] Wilson's estimate of him was perfectly just: 'the personification & embodiment of a cold, unimpassioned intellectual'. |
