| Title | Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, 1 Hughenden Terrace, Belfast, to 'Dear Master' [Charles Taylor] |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Recipient | Taylor; Charles (1840-1908); British college head |
| Date | 26 July 1889 |
| Description | Taylor's letter has just reached him. Larmor considers a problem of two points on a given line, which cannot be done other than by a conic of some kind. Finding a point can be derived from Pascal's theorem. He thinks that Taylor's proof of the converse of the prop. [?] locus of 0 is a conic adds to the demonstration, although he notes how a Greek geometer might respond. He hopes to be in Cambridge for few days from next Friday.
