TitleLetter from Horace Lamb, Medindee, Burton Road, Didsbury, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date4 March 1894
DescriptionLamb thinks it a shame that having escaped the London Examiners he should have more such work pressed upon him. He will ask Larmor to look through the sheets [of Hydrodynamics] particularly when he gets to later topics, such as the dynamics of a solid in a fluid which Larmor has made his own. He hopes to have the benefit of Larmor's criticisms, which have already been of great use. He will refer to [Ludwig] Boltzmann's paper later in the book. He asks if Larmor intends to go abroad that year, and Lamb would enjoy climbing moderate mountains without chimneys in Larmor's company.

With some light pencil notes by Joseph Larmor.
