| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Shepherd's Down, Haslemere, Surrey, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 18 May 1913 |
| Description | Larmor will recall that they were with [Giacomi] Boni on the Palatine and he promised to come to London to give an account of his work to the Royal Society. Geikie has had an enthusiastic letter from him proposing 5 June to talk about latest discoveries. He was just leaving Rome for Turin so Geikie thought it best to accept, thinking that there would be no obstacle. There is a dearth of papers and Boni would fill the meeting room, which a paper would not. Geikie encloses a card for Larmor to see the watercolour work of a French artist under whom his daughter Lucy studied. |
