Letter from F G [Frederick Gowland] Hopkins, Saxmeadham, 71 Grange Road, Cambridge, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] He thanks Larmor for his letters and enclosures, admitting the importance of the point he raised. They have consulted many politicians on both sides concerning the future and they have taken optimistic views. Once the scheme has become established, he thinks it would be difficult for any future Chancellor to go back on it. He likes to think that the Government is committed to the idea of substantial aid to research. Once familar the conception may grow and the offer of the Lister is a token of confidence. 14 July 1914
