DescriptionHe has been unable to attach any physical meaning to Whittaker's explanation of gravitation but suggests two things for Whittaker to consider. These are recent work in undulatory theory by several authors and his own analysis of Whittaker's final expression [attached]. He suggests that Whittaker should talk the matter over with Larmor, who is interested.
