CreatorJoly; John (1857-1933); Irish geologist and physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date10 March [1908]
DescriptionThe notice of W E [William Ernest] Wilson's death in the papers stated that the funeral was private and therefore Joly took no action. He sent a telegram to Mrs Wilson as soon as he received Larmor's letter asking about the arrangements, and the Royal Society's desire to send a representative. The answer stated that the funeral had taken place that morning. Joly notes their sense of loss of 'the loveable nature of the man'.
