| Title | Letter from E [Ernest] Rutherford, 17 Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Rutherford; Ernest; Baron Rutherford of Nelson (1871-1937); New Zealand physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 4 March 1910 |
| Description | Rutherford 'is on the warpath' looking for a mathematical physicist for the Manchester Physics Department. He would like Larmor's views. The post might be anywhere between £300 and £600 per annum, and the work would be 'pretty easy', with time for research. He gives his views on the type of man required and asks what Larmor knows of [Henry Cabourne] Pocklington, [Louis Napoleon George] Filon, and [Ebenezer] Cunningham. [Bertram Borden] Boltwood has told him that Yale will be after Willisch [?]. |
