Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Haslemere, to [Joseph] Larmor Geikie is glad that Larmor has managed to arrange matters for the Paris funeral. H ebelieves that never in the history of the Academie des Sciences have so many members' funerals taken place at the same time. He refers Larmor to Madame [Marie] Curie's paper in Comptes Rendus, repeating [William] Ramsay's experiments on supposed conversion of copper to lithium, pointing out where he went wrong: '[James] Dewar must have read the paper with great satisfaction!' He notes the appointment of a new Master of St. John's College. The Master is probably required to be in holy orders, otherwise Geikie could think of an excellent layman [Joseph Larmor]. 29 August 1908
