| Title | Letter from H A [Henry Andrews] Bumstead, Hotel Flora, Via Veneto, Rome, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Bumstead; Henry Andrews (1870-1920); American physicist |
| Date | 24 January 1914 |
| Description | Bumstead was glad to get Larmor's letter which reached him yesterday, via America. This is a sabbatical year for him. Last Spring, the surgeons 'went after some of my internal organs' for a second time and he was advised to take a year off. So far the results have been good: he has lost his old digestive trouble and is steadily recovering. He has done no work, but has become a sightseer and traveller. Bumstead spent three months in Munich, but kept clear of physicists. He has been in Rome with his family for two weeks and he will stay for another three. After Easter he hopes to be in Cambridge for Spring term when he expects to be fit enough to do a little physics reading. He wishes to hear Larmor if he is lecturing. He is an uncertain state about relativity and quanta and thinks if he had been able to read more within the past nine months he would have been worse. He hopes to get some gleamings of light. |
