| 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 | 28 February 1910 |
| Description | Huggins has 100 copies of his book 'The Royal Society' which he would like to present to the Royal Society for their use. He wonders who will be able to fill Larmor's place. He speculates about F [Andrew Russell Forsyth], stating that he has heard that Forsyth 'is a philanderer, and that a similar crisis might have occirred with others, if the woman had been responsive'. He is told that B [Charles Vernon Boys] will divorce his wife [Marion Amelia Pollock Boys] and hopes Forsyth has relatives who will prevent him marrying her. He feels that [John] Evershed should become an astronomical candidate. He comments on [Percival] Lowell's 'preaching the great engineering feat of the Martians'. |
