| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, 53 South Street, St Andrews, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 25 July 1901 |
| Description | Geikie thanks Larmor for his interesting article on 'poor Fitzgerald' [George Francis Fitzgerald]. Geikie had a sad connection with his final hours, being in Dublin and staying with Professor [Daniel John] Cunningham. Geikie intended to propose Fitzgerald as President of the Belfast meeting of the British Association to be held next year. Cunningham saw Mrs. Fitzgerald, knowing that her husband was ill, and made the suggestion, which delighted her. But Fitzgerald died the next day, meaning that this was likely the last news he heard. |
