TitleLetter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fellowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date29 January 1911
DescriptionHe writes to explain his position on the forthcoming election. He thought Harold Cox a good choice at first, as a strong Unionist and free-trader. His views were no secret, but this was before he knew of Larmor's candidature. He is now 'perplexed and distressed' at the conflict. If kindness and admiration were to pull him in any direction, Larmor would know which. However with hesitation he is loyal to his first thoughts. He does not know how those with votes in the university will exercise them. He thinks that Page will get little support and that Larmor will likely get in. If so, he will support the result with some philosophy.
