Letter from E T [Edmund Taylor] Whittaker, 35 George Square, Edinburgh, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] A long description and recommendation for Whittaker's student, Robert Schlapp, whom he wishes Larmor to take on as a student of mathematical physics at Cambridge and at St. John's College. Whittaker gives his background, including war service, and attainments, concluding: 'I can strongly recommend him on personal grounds - a widely read & cultured man, a good musician, a metaphysician, & a delightful companion'. 17 February 1922
