| Title | Letter from Vito Volterra, Villino Volterra, Ariccia (Roma), to [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Volterra; Vito (1860-1940); Italian mathematician and physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 1 January 1915 |
| Description | He has received Larmor's note and wishes to express his sympathies for the country. He received Sir Archibald Geikie's essays about the war, giving the different reasons why England was pushed into the conflict, including behaviour towards Belgium. Volterra had already written to Geikie to say that he shared the ideas expressed by English scientists and he admires the behaviour of England towards Belgium. It is also the idea of most of his countrymen that the aggression was on the part of Germany and Austria. He concludes with good wishes for the relationship between their two countries. |
