TitleLetter from Robert S [Stawell] Ball, Observatory, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorBall; Sir; Robert Stawell (1840-1913); British astronomer
Date7 December 1898
DescriptionIt would give him pleasure to render any honour to Larmor's Presidency of the Philosophical Society and he will do his best to propose the health of guests, three of whom - Lodge, Stoney and Carey-Foster - are old friends. He encloses a cheque but he has mislaid the paper and therefore is unsure of the hour or place. Once he receives the promised further particulars, he will work up his brief.

In a pencil note he apologises for giving Larmor trouble with the cheque - since he has mislaid the paper he is not sure where to send it.
