  <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 sends Larmor best wishes from himself and Lady [Margaret] Huggins and comments that 'it seems but a short yesterday when I addressed you as Secretary for the first time!'. He discusses the funeral of Lord Kelvin in [Westminster] Abbey , writing 'it it is enough to make angels weep that in the twentieth century the highest scientific society should not only abet, but solicit and sanction by its presence, intra-mural burial!'. He then further discusses the arrangements for Kelvin by the Royal Society. He asks if Larmor has looked into [Hugh Frank] Newall's latest work into Comet light, and solar observations. </dc:description>
