Letter from J H [John Henry] Poynting, 10 Ampton Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, to [Joseph] Larmor Poynting agrees that [Frank] Horton will not become a physicist; he is a careful experimenter but lacks inspiration. It was a misfortune that he did not get the bursership. If Horton took Reading, he would make a good professor of the teaching class only, but would not go further. Poytning notes an inspectorship at the B of E [Board of Education] which Horton might make a good thing of, but fears that Horton thinks he should have something better. 1 June 1910
