  <dc:title>Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Huggins is very appreciative of Larmor's sympathy. He writes that 'those in the "know" may, as you say, "properly understand"; but so many, just outside, take such things for gospel' and comments that the 'misstatements were practically untruths'.  They [William and Margaret Huggins] are grieved that [Archibald] Geikie is unwell. Huggins discusses the radium research. He has a photograph with high exposure but the spectrum on it is very faint. He can just satisfy himself with a change, 'either through a modification of the N spectrum or an addition to it'. He discusses Buchan[?]'s letter about the Athenaeum. He comments on a lecture by [Hendrik Antoon] Lorentz on the theory of electrons, which he gave some time ago in Berlin. </dc:description>
