Letter from James Stirling, Finchocks, Goudhurst, Kent, to [Joseph] Larmor Stirling is obliged for Larmor's letter and the trouble he has taken. He agrees that there are two functions in one equation and he gets values for both. He thinks this is not impossible, giving an example, and relating this to [George Gabriel] Stokes's two equations. He is willing to send the note to [Arthur] Schuster but he will keep it back until he has solved equation 2. If this is intractable, it means that Stokes's results are not the general solution. 20 February 1914
