| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, Didsbury, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 29 July 1894 |
| Description | He will not trouble Larmor with any more sheets for some time. The more he thinks about the wave problem, the more he thinks that the solution is correct, with qualifications. He may be able to squeeze in ten lines by sacrificing something trivial, but he cannot compress the whole argument in the space. He did not grasp Larmor's criticism when in the slips. Lamb shares Larmor's horror of 'high roads and boiling heat', noting conditions on the lower Oetzthel [Otzal], and a possible route from Innsbruck to Soelden. He has reservations about 'Vereiners', and does not mind rough accommodation, but objects to snao and incivility. He would be resigned to going to Zurich and trusting to luck, but outlines one last possible plan. |
