Letter from James Ward, Selwyn Gardens, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor He thinks he is doing an independent and foolish thing, being in great distress. He had ventured to write strictures on fluid motion but it occurred to him that he had misunderstood it. [William Mitchinson?] Hicks's paper was 'very muddling'. Ward thinks his own ignorance meant that he was unable to supply steps that Hicks omits. Therefore Walker must write off the notes he encloses, but if Ward could look at them and let him have another talk he would be grateful. He gives possible dates and states that his wife would like to invite Larmor to dinner. 31 October 1895
