| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 8 January 1908 |
| Description | Huggins invites Larmor for tea tomorrow. He discusses an unnamed figure, of which he writes 'I did not mean vulgar laziness: perhaps I should rather have said that the potential of the motive-force[?] of his enthusiasm in undertaking new work is constitutionally low'. He then notes that [William Edward] Ayrton's recollections of [William Thomson, Lord] Kelvin at Glasgow are 'delightful and kind'. Huggins is awaiting [William] Ramsay's further results with interest. He writes that he is, along with many others, very much looking forward to Larmor's Wilde lecture. |
