Letter from R S [Robert Simpson] Woodward, Midland Grand Hotel, London, to Joseph Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge He arrived with his wife the day before, to stay in London before going on to the Darwin commemorative celebration in Cambridge, accepting the invitation to be guests of Lady [Caroline Lane] Jebb. He hopes to see Larmor in Cambridge, or if not in London. He wishes to learn something of the workings of the Royal Society and why it is so much more successful in promoting scientific research than the National Academy of Sciences. 9 June 1909
