Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] Huggins would be sorry to see [M] Foster's paper printed as is, as 'it is bad English and laboured out to the last degree of tediousness'. He dislikes the section about the President being a Member of Parliament and notes 'Personally I detest 'Gladstonian radicals'. He agrees with [Henry Nottidge] Mosley that the President of the Royal Society should 'keep himself aloof officially from political party and religious party'. Huggins then discusses his paper and elaborates on the wave-lengths of the bands. He states his impression that the N bands in the tube are weaker than 'in full air'. He is glad Larmor did not go to South Africa and notes that 'no doubt [Richard Claverhouse] Jebb is a second martyr'. 10 December 1905
