  <dc:title>Letter from Horace Lamb, Didsbury, to [Joseph] Larmor</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Lamb asks Larmor to think about possible Royal Society candidates, listing: Mathews, Pearson, Tanner, Edgeworth, and Preston. The mathematicians are not a strong body, but might be corrected on [George Ballard] Mathews and [Francis Ysidro?] Edgeworth stands on 'different ground'. He notes [Karl] Pearson's 'History' [of Statistics] 'much of it is drivel', but [Augustus Edward Hough] Love has some respect for his work on elasticity, which Lamb has not read. Lamb is anxious not to do him an injustice. He cannot say anything about Preston's originality. He has not seen Larmor since the Royal Society dinner and hopes he is prospering.   </dc:description>
