| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Huggins [née; Murray]; Margaret Lindsay; Lady Huggins (1848-1915); Irish astronomical spectroscopist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 11 August 1907 |
| Description | Huggins is looking forward to seeing Larmor when he visits, and hopes that he will come again soon to see Lady [Margaret] Huggins. Kelvin and Lady Kelvin visited yesterday afternoon and they discussed radium. He comments that [Archibald] Geike has received a KCB [Knight Commander of Bath]. Huggins agrees with what Larmor says about [Edwin Ray] Lankester's publication scheme. Margaret Huggins is extremely disappointed to miss Larmor's 'too rare visits which are always a true pleasure to us both'. She hopes he visits again before long. She comments on a tedious visit from Lord Kelvin, noting 'not only is he fossilizing - wilfully fossilizing - but he is exerting himself to make fossils all round him'. |
