| Title | Letter from Vito Volterra, to Sir Joseph Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge, England |
| Creator | Volterra; Vito (1860-1940); Italian mathematician and physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | [1919?] |
| Description | He is grateful for Larmor's kind letter and his trouble in correcting Volterra's English. He is willing to have this sent on to Professor D'Arcy [Wentworth] Thompson, whose works are well known in Italy. As Larmor remarked, it would be necessary to send him the memoir as well, but this is now in press; as soon as the first pages are printed he could forward these. Meanwhile he woudl be happy to see his note in 'Nature'. It may be best to omit the example of the three species on an island, and to rrefrain from quoting [Charles] Darwin to reduce the length. His aim is to recall his researches which might interest a biologist or mathematician. Volterra is just about to leave for Paris and Brussels. Later, he may come to England. |
