| Title | Letter from James Dewar, Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albermarle Street, London, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Dewar; Sir James (1842-1923); British chemist and physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 3 February 1923 |
| Description | Dewar broke down after his lecture with bronchial trouble. Larmor's paper is 'far too profound' for him, but he recognises that Larmor is the only man of science to be included in the great period of [James Clerk] Maxwell. Dewar is working on a viscosity problem and when ready will ask Larmor to see the experiment. He asks Larmor to mention to [George Downing] Liveing that he is still alive. His wife [Helen Rose Dewar] has been giving him great anxiety, mentioning heart failure. |
