TitleLetter from Oliver J [Joseph] Lodge, Mariemont, Edgbaston, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date22 December 1905
DescriptionCommencing 'This seems quite exciting!'. Lodge thinks he must look things up and do better to understand them. He has been meditating on death and eternity more than on physics lately, but he is intending to bring out his paper on electrons, with additions to update it. He wants to grasp Larmor's idea, and any information Larmor might send is not thrown away, but assimilated. He passes on his good wishes 'for Christmas and all time'.
