Letter from David Gill, 34 De Vere Gardens, Kensington, London, to [Joseph] Larmor He received Larmor's letter concerning the Nautical Almanac and asks him not to take any action in [Philip Herbert] Cowell's affair. They should be prepared to answer all questions when meeting the Prime Minister and the joint committee should be consulted. Gill gives little weight to the Treasury's arguments when money is being asked for. They must determine the desirability and scientific necessity of an establishment where issues of celestial mechanics are dealt with. 30 January 1912
