| Title | Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins [nee Murray]; Margaret Lindsay (1848-1915); British astronomical spectroscopist and photographer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); British theoretical physicist |
| Date | 16 October 1910 |
| Description | Huggins discusses the reprinting of the Herschel Papers. She has conferred with Mr Wesley, who has found it difficult to proceed without the guidance of Sir William [Huggins]. She feels that Larmor understands the situation, but that 'Mr H' [Hardcastle?] is 'ignorant though well-meaning' and that Sir D [David] Gill is even more so 'dangerously ignorant, because he thinks he knows, and is apt to be domineering'. She discusses a disagreement about the quality of one of the specimen plates. She asks for Larmor's assistance with the matter, and with handling the parties involved. She ends by reporting that Sir D [David] Gill has been given the Merit Decoration from the German Emperor, held by Professor Simon Newcombe. |
