| Description | Harrison has written a statement of claims for [Albert Abraham] Michelson, and Huggins asks Larmor to kindly make any additions or alterations that he deems desirable and send the statement to the [Royal] Society. He hopes Larmor enjoyed his mountaineering trip. Huggins informs him that Madame [Marie] Curie has completed her redetermination of the atomic weight of radium. He hopes that Thorpe is getting on well with the work. [Julius Edgar] Lilienfeld at Leipzig has 'caught the sly positive electron', and Huggins elaborates on this. He ends by commenting on how much Lady [Margaret] Huggins is looking forward to seeing Larmor. |
