| Description | He has been talking to Willie [William Wright Larmor] about what Joseph learned from [James] Perry. He is not yet qualified for anything but teaching and his prospects are not brilliant. He has no taste for medicine and has fallen back on engineering. He might take up civil or electrical and is anxious about which to start with. He would like to follow Perry's suggestion to start in Galway then go to London to start in some works. He asks Joseph to write to Fitzgerald at Belfast to find out about prospects in civil engineering, so that Willie has the compfort of the best advice. Alexander would like to have Johnston's 'Analytical geometry' is Joseph has no use for it and he gives thanks for the Philosophical Transactions paper. |
