TitleLetter from J [Joseph] Larmor, Cambridge, to [William Napier] Shaw
CreatorLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
RecipientShaw; Sir William Napier (1854-1945); British meteorologist
Date29 June 1906
DescriptionLarmor would not like to risk getting the paper through the Mathematical Committee. It might do as an appendix to a discussion elsewhere, but he does not know what he would say to one critic. The problem of storm vortices is really one of hydrodynamics and he notes where it has been treated elsewhere. 'Hudson's hypothoses have no claim to be even probable'.
