TitleLetter from A B [Alfred Bray] Kempe, 2 Paper Buildings, Temple, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorKempe; Sir Alfred Bray (1849-1922); British lawyer and mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date10 November 1907
DescriptionHe thinks that Larmor should see the enclose letter [not present] whic has has shown to [Michael] Foster at the Royal Society, drawing Larmor's attention ot the last page. [Edward Sharpey-] Schafer's suggestion that [Archibald] Geikie should withdraw and go to 'The Times' is 'quite monstrous'. He thinks that Halliburton's letter to Foster must have been dictated by Schafer. He could not have asked Council to reconsider their decision against him. They were forced into having a special Council, as the President would not have been satisfied otherwise, but he cannot imagine their decision being reversed in favour of Geikie.
