| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 17 September 1907 |
| Description | Harrison has written a statement of claims for Michelson, and Huggins asks Larmor to kindly make any additions or alterations that he deems desirable and send the statement to the [Royal] Society. He hopes Larmor enjoyed his mountaineering trip. Huggins informs him that Madame Curie has completed her redetermination of the atomic weight of radium. He hopes that Thorpe is getting on well with the work. [Julius Edgar] Lilienfeld at Leipzig has 'caught the sly positive electron', and Huggins elaborates on this. He ends by commenting on how much Lady [Margaret] Huggins is looking forward to seeing Larmor. |
