| Title | Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Professor [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Huggins; Margaret Lindsay (1848 - 1915); Née; Murray; wife of William Huggins FRS; Irish-English astronomer; spectroscopist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 25 August 1904 |
| Description | Huggins shares further thoughts on a recent trip to see Larmor last week, and looks forward to hearing about Larmor's upcoming trip to Holland. She greatly enjoyed organising the pictures and prints in Larmor's Hall and Combination Room. She comments on a print she found particularly interesting, which contains figures such as Elizabeth Throckmorton and Sir Walter Raleigh. Other highlights from her visit include the private dinner with the Vice-Chancellor, and a visit to Jesus College at the University of Cambridge. She comments on recent meetings with a range of people, including the Comte de Gramont[?]; Professor Kayzer; Professor Purser; Mrs Culverwell; and states her admiration for Professor George Fitzgerald. She was also glad to meet Professor Love and his sister. She did not think Sir Oliver Lodge was looking well or happy, and Dr Glazebrook looks worried 'and much aged since he went to Bushey'. She feels that the Cambridge meeting was 'most successful'. |
