TitleLetter from H [Henry] Montagu Butler, Trinity Lodge, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorButler; Henry Montagu (1833-1918); British college head
Date9 December 1912
DescriptionHe thanks Larmor for a kind letter and laments losses of College and University friends. With the exception of the Master of Clare, Peter Mason must have been 'almost our Nestor'. There is a tradition that he gave Hebrew lessons to Bishop Lightfoot. It is sad that George Darwin should have survived the International Congress of Mathematics by only a few months. He notes the people he has written to, telling them of the service. Since getting Larmor's latter he has telegraphed Sir Archibald to bring Schuster to lunch.
