| Title | Letter from W D [William Davidson] Niven, Royal Naval College, Greenwich, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Niven; Sir William Davidson (1842-1917); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 10 June 1899 |
| Description | He has received Larmor's revisions for two papers. He congratulates Larmor on his Adams Prize, although he would have preferred to see Larmor 'in undisputed possession'. He and Burnside think that Larmor did not take the trouble to write up the exact subject and neither did the other man. Niven finds that having a houseful of people is not conducive to work, and reports that all but six of the gunnery lieutenants have got firsts. |
