| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 6 September 1903 |
| Description | Discussing an article in the 'Times' which Huggins states was to discredit their recent work on radium and helium, in such a way 'as to give the general public the impression that we had tried to get the credit of a discovery for what was no discovery at all; and further, to do this, had manipulated the paper'. He is also upset that the letter was written by someone 'with whom we had been on friendly terms for a quarter of a century', implied to be [James] Dewar.
