TitleLetter from A B [Alfred Bray] Kempe, 19 Pembridge Square, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorKempe; Sir Alfred Bray (1849-1922); British lawyer and mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date24 November 1906
DescriptionKempe has received Larmor's telegram. He has spoken with Geikie who thinks that Kempe should preside at the Anniversary Meeting [of the Royal Society] and the past-President should preside over the dinner. He saw Lord Kelvin recently and he was suffering so much it would be cruel to ask him to preside and [William] Huggins has been asked to do so. He has written to Lord Rayleigh with this information and asking to read his address. This is with [Robert] Harrison, except the final part relating to medals. Geikie will be at the Royal Society on Monday and they hope to have a reply from Huggins. He asks for Larmor's suggestions and if he should preside as Geikie suggests.
