Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge, to [William] Ramsay He has been trying to understand [Bertram Dillon] Steele's preliminary abstract. Larmor refers to Ramsay as a 'stalwart Trojan', and he thinks that Steele, as a scientific man, would have benefitted from literary education. He remarked this on his previous Philosophical Transactions paper on ionic velocities ['The measurement of ionic velocities in aqueous solution, and the existence of complex ions'] before he was at the Royal Society. He considers the conductivity of hydrogen bromide and hydrogen chloride and how chemicals fit together as explained in Steele's paper. 3 December 1904
