CreatorLamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date15 March 1929
DescriptionHe hardly knows what to say for 'such a handsome present'. He congratulates Larmor on its publication and the additions and comments show that the old fires are burning. The historical interest in Larmor's writings gives pleasure, something to which younger men are indifferent.
