  <dc:title>Letter from Geo Fras [George Francis] Fitzgerald, Trin Coll Dub [Trinity College, Dublin], to [Joseph] Larmor</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fitzgerald had not appreciated Larmor's investigations on 'T' as only looking for a method of calculating the effect on 'a bevy of electrons'. He was so convinced that current was a flow of electrons that he had not thought it worthwhile proving. He thinks that Larmor goes beyond [James Clerk] Maxwell by investigating the connection of a system after the manner of Lagrangean methods, which Maxwell passes over. He does not understand why Larmor takes so much interest in the experiment tried by Fitzgerald as Larmor and Ampere now agree. In the returned paper, the force on the moving electron depends upon the curl of the vector potential. Fitzgerald believes that Larmor thinks the experiment will be for him and against Maxwell; Fitzgerald notes several points about the experiment, concluding with a postscript on [Oliver] Heaviside.       </dc:description>
