Letter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fellowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor His opinion of the claims of [Ernest William] Hobson and Baker [?] is not worth much. He has read the former's work, the latter's is beyond him. Hobson is more impressive, he thinks. As regards the Royal Society, he lists [Ernest William] Barnes, [Alfred] Fowler, [Godfrey Harold] Hardy and [Frederick] Soddy for his definite support. He does not think much about [Louis Napoleon George] Filon. Among engineers, he prefers [George Gerald] Stoney to [Bertram] Hopkinson. He know little about [Alfred William] Porter but prefers him to C.G. [Cargill Gilston] Knott. Lamb mentions [Frederick George] Donnan, does not support [Richard Cockburn] Maclaurin. [Richard Dixon] Oldham might be considered for geology and seismology. The chemists prefer [John Theodore] Hewitt and A J [Adrian John] Brown. 14 February 1910
