TitleLetter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], Normanton House, Lake, near Salisbury, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date15 August 1922
DescriptionHe is glad that Larmor finds it peaceful in Ireland, but he supposes that southerners do not penetrate the northern provinces. He hopes that once rested, Larmor will write out his theory of gravitation. Lodge thinks that gravity must be a function of electric charge, or at least what is called the proton, the structure of which is unknown. Lodge knows nothing of [Richard] Hargreaves' paper but he is sure that the Philosophical Magazine will fnd room for it. Lodge will tell them it contains interesting results, wheher to not they are borne out by modern spectral theory. The editors have it in hand. He does not know what reply J.J. [Joseph John] Thomson made to Hargreave's letter.
