  <dc:title>Letter from George E [Ellery] Hale, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Mount Wilson Solar Observatory, Pasadena, California, to [Joseph] Larmor</dc:title>
  <dc:description>He was pleased to receive Larmor's letter and expresses America's anxiety about the war: 'It is appalling to think what frightful losses of life and property have already been experienced'. Preliminary results are in full harmony with Larmor's views, showing no solar fields as intense as 200 volts per cm for hydrogen alpha. He asks if Larmor thinks regions of low pressure such as those above sunspots might have low enough conductivity to resemble vacuum tube conditions.    </dc:description>
