Copy letter from Joseph Larmor, to Professor Frederick Thomas Trouton, [Fellow of the Royal Society] 'My dear Trouton, In the matter of A W [Alfred William] Porter's paper the referees are averse to publication on the ground that it leads to no result and is hypothetical throughout. I have thought it well to tell you this in advance, so that you may consider whether under the circumstances you would wish to withdraw it. Very truly yours, J Larmor'. 15 February 1906
