Title	Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Sir Joseph [Larmor]
Creator	Huggins [nee Murray]; Margaret Lindsay (1848-1915); British astronomical spectroscopist and photographer
Recipient	Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); British theoretical physicist
Date	16 October 1910
Description	Huggins discusses the reprinting of the Herschel Papers. She has conferred with Mr Wesley, who has found it difficult to proceed without the guidance of Sir William [Huggins]. She feels that Larmor understands the situation, but that 'Mr H' [Hardcastle?] is 'ignorant though well-meaning' and that Sir D [David] Gill is even more so 'dangerously ignorant, because he thinks he knows, and is apt to be domineering'. She discusses a disagreement about the quality of one of the specimen plates. She asks for Larmor's assistance with the matter, and with handling the parties involved. She ends by reporting that Sir D [David] Gill has been given the Merit Decoration from the German Emperor, held by Professor Simon Newcombe.
