Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Shepherd's Down, Haslemere, Surrey, to [Joseph] Larmor An account of the death of Geikie's daughter Elsie, with the rapid onset of symptoms of diabetes. Geikie gives an appreciation of her qualities, writing that this 'is the most grievous calamity that has ever befallen me'. His wife, who had been given a short time to live, has rallied a little, but is not thought to have more than a few weeks to live. He has been intending to write to Larmor, but his anxieties have turned his intentions aside. In a postscript, Geikie records that he has received a telegram from Edinburgh to say that his brother had died last night. 2 March 1915
