Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge, to [Frederick Thomas] Trouton Larmor has delayed answering Trouton's letter due to numerous engagements. His criticism of Trouton's account of [George Francis] Fitzgerald's argument is pencilled into the margin of Trouton's manuscript. He summarises this, with comments on Trouton's magnetic field experiment, noting that the sensitiveness does not seem adequate for the required purpose. In a postscript, Larmor states that the blocks have reached the printer, but at his present state of progress it will take years. 19 October 1901
