| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 20 February 1908 |
| Description | Huggins shares his view of [Edmund Neville] Nevill as the best astronomical candidate, complimenting the theoretical work he has done. He is sorry that he has not had time to study the other candidates. He congratulates the Royal Society on the lecture in May. He states that [George] Johnson Storey is anxious about his claims being adequately considered if Parsons is unable to be present. Huggins writes that he does not know him personally but believes him to have high claims to consideration. [William Henry] Bragg has sent Huggins a copy of a paper from 2 January 1908 'in which he claims that the y rays are material and not pulses'. |
