| Title | Letter from H M [Hector Munro] Macdonald, 52 College Bounds, Aberdeen, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Macdonald; Hector Munro (1865-1935); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 4 June 1913 |
| Description | Larmor will have received the photograph by now [of the portrait of William Davidson Niven] and he has Annan's account, so they will be £3 'to the bad'. The Principal of the University expressed pleasure at getting the portrait. Macdonald is going to Sidcup and wonders if Larmor will be able to join him. He agrees with Larmor about 'the necessity for keeping things in this country'. He has been trying to read a paper for the [London] Mathematical [Society] on a new theory of elastic body stress and he will recommend printing 'on the off chance there is something in it'. He has not seen Charles Niven in some days but he is greatly improved in health. He asks if Larmor has a preference on the portrait hanging at King's or Marischal. |
