| Title | Letter from [Ernest Fox] Nichols, Columbia University in the City of New York, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Nichols; Ernest Fox (1869-1924); American physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 26 May 1907 |
| Description | He has spoken with colleagues about the contents of Larmor's letters, and he does not think any confidence will be violated. They are interested in [Richard Cockburn] Maclaurin after looking him up, and Nichols is writing to [Ernest] Rutherford about him as Larmor suggested. He is also writing to Maclaurin asking him if he would apply on a possible salary of $4,500. He thinks Maclaurin is as good a man as they could get. He weighs other candidates and salaries, with colleagues drawing lines between Maclaurin as a physicist, and Grace as a mathematician. Larmor's substantial help is appreciated by all. |
