  <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 feels it is very kind of Larmor to suggest coming to town, even though the matter Huggins wishes to discuss is not pressing.  They [William and Margaret Huggins] have been looking forward to hosting Larmor, but Huggins is not free on Wednesday. He discusses the 'new fact (if further confirmed) that the [?] of the light of a star reaches the earth first, and the other [?] lag behind in their spectral order?'. He mentions a paper by J J T [Joseph John Thomson] and asks about [Herbert Hall] Turner and [William Wallace] Campbell's views on the matter of 'difference of velocity of the spectral rays'. He fears this disagrees with [Charles] Nordmann's views on this matter. </dc:description>
