| 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 | 15 November 1909 |
| Description | He supposes that 'P [Henry Cabourn Pocklington] gives good reasons for throwing over [Simon] Newcomb's conclusion from optical considerations' and also for 'putting aside [David] Gill's contention' regarding the depth of the canals. He jokes about Martian fish in the 'Sea in Mars'. He is glad Larmor will provide a full abstract of his Bakerian lecture and asks for it to be sent in advance. |
