| Title | Letter from Joseph Larmor, Holywood, County Down, to Charles Vernon Boys |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish physicist |
| Recipient | Boys; Sir Charles Vernon (1855-1944); British physicist and inventor |
| Date | 21 March 1935 |
| Description | Larmor trusts that Boys is none the worse for the good things to eat a week ago. The logarithms are interesting but Larmor's mathematical faculty is to take 'difficult ideas for granted, without worrying about proof'. He sympathises regarding Todhunter. If Boys wishes to trace a mind as ingenious as his own, he should look to the Scottish mathematician [John] Napier, from about the year 1500. Boys should take pride in stumbling on his tracks. |
