  <dc:title>Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanking Larmor for his congratulations [for Huggins's birthday]. Huggins was surprised to see this acknowledged in the 'Times'. He says he has 'suffered a series of invasions from truculent pressmen - five reporters and four photographers!'. He then discusses 'the serious invasion of Cambridge by S K [South Kensington]' [moving the Solar Physics Observatory to Cambridge], and enquiring who will have jurisdiction over it. He discusses F [Andrew Russell Forsyth]'s personal life, whose actions have 'disgraced not only Trinity but the Royal Society', and speculates about a public divorce for him [following his affair with Marion Amelia Pollock Boys]. He feels the [William] Herschel matter can wait until Hardwicke [unidentified]'s recovery, and that Hill's name is expected to be added to the Committee. He criticises S [Silvanus] Thompson's work about Lord Kelvin. He will soon go over the list of biological and physiological candidates. </dc:description>
