| Title | Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Sir Joseph Larmor |
| Creator | Huggins [née; Murray]; Margaret Lindsay; Lady Huggins (1848-1915); Irish astronomical spectroscopist and photographer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); British theoretical physicist |
| Date | 17 September 1911 |
| Description | Huggins discusses Larmor's trip to [the University of] St Andrews, where she notes that he has received an honour. She then criticises Lord Roseberry's oration, which disappointed her as 'There was a lack of original thinking. There were not even great suggestions'. She found Mr Balfour's 'infinitely more important'. She then notes that she has just returned from a trip to Peterborough to 'to help the local colour of the memoir [she is] preparing', as this is where Sir William Huggins's mother came from. |
