| Title | Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge, to [William] Ramsay |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Recipient | Ramsay; Sir William (1852-1916); British physical chemist |
| Date | 3 December 1904 |
| Description | He has been trying to understand [Bertram Dillon] Steele's preliminary abstract. Larmor refers to Ramsay as a 'stalwart Trojan', and he thinks that Steele, as a scientific man, would have benefitted from literary education. He remarked this on his previous Philosophical Transactions paper on ionic velocities ['The measurement of ionic velocities in aqueous solution, and the existence of complex ions'] before he was at the Royal Society. He considers the conductivity of hydrogen bromide and hydrogen chloride and how chemicals fit together as explained in Steele's paper. |
