Letter from Oliver Heaviside, Bradley View, Newton Abbot, to [Joseph] Larmor Heaviside addresses Larmor's misunderstanding that they should 'ask people to be candidates in advance'. He clarifies that his suggestion that 'on the choice by the Council of the recipient of a Medal, he should be notified of it, and asked if he is willing to accept it' this is to avoid any 'fuss' and the declining the offer. 7 November 1904
