Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] Thanking Larmor for the information and for passing on his views of Kaufmann. He then discusses candidates for the Royal Society election. He might be in favour of Rudge[?] but under present circumstances feels that to elect him would be an injustice to other scientists with a stronger claim. The same applies to Blackwood[?], as 'if he comes in a better man is kept out'. He feels that [Philip Herbert] Cowell is the best of the astronomers, and is sorry for [Edward Walter] Maunder but does not think he would be the right choice. He is not sure about Lees[?]. He states that 'the responsibility rests on the Council, not on men outside who are pushing their friends'. He feels [William Augustus] Tilden is a safer choice. [Harold Albert] Wilson and Terry[?] also ought to come in. 20 July 1906
