| Title | Letter from F G [Frederick Gowland] Hopkins, Saxmeadham, 71 Grange Road, Cambridge, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Hopkins; Sir Frederick Gowland (1861-1947); British biochemist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 31 October 1923 |
| Description | He is grateful for Larmor's enquiry about Holden [?]. Hopkins may be biased in his favour but is willing to help him. Hopkins has gradually realised his good qualities, including honesty of mind. He came back from the war battered, but his obstinacy has gradually gone, and his physical disability no longer interferes with his laboratory work. Hopkins gives the reasons why Holden left Birmingham. Holden is coaching medical students in chemical knowledge, and his teaching is appreciated to the extent that Hopkins has asked him to give lectures to beginners. This is not an argument to give him a Fellowship but he would justify a year or two of that kind of support. |
