  <dc:title>Letter from [William Thomson, Lord] Kelvin, Netherhall, Largs, Ayrshire, to [Joseph] Larmor</dc:title>
  <dc:description>kelvin was glad to be at the meeting of L.M.S. [London Mathematical Society] on Thursday. He wished to ask Larmor about his Adams Prize Essay; when it would be in print and what is his secret. Kelvin has been trying hard to get a radiant molecule travelling through aether and sending out light vibrations, and to account for no disturbance of light from a star at the instant of occultation by the Moon. He has done this by supposing that matter occupies the same space as aether and he expands upon this work.</dc:description>
