| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Haslemere, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 29 August 1908 |
| Description | Geikie is glad that Larmor has managed to arrange matters for the Paris funeral. He believes that never in the history of the Academie des Sciences have so many members' funerals taken place at the same time. He refers Larmor to Madame [Marie] Curie's paper in Comptes Rendus, repeating [William] Ramsay's experiments on supposed conversion of copper to lithium, pointing out where he went wrong: '[James] Dewar must have read the paper with great satisfaction!' He notes the appointment of a new Master of St. John's College. The Master is probably required to be in holy orders, otherwise Geikie could think of an excellent layman [Joseph Larmor]. |
