| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fallowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 16 February 1902 |
| Description | He has found Larmor's note and is obliged for it. He hopes the thing may be a mistake and it had not occurred to him to suspect anything. He is inclined to interpret this as 'absence of mind'. 'R' [Osborne Reynolds] cannot read things and 'has a habit of shutting his eyes...and groping for words'. This, and bad eyesight, is responsible for his misadventures. Lamb explains what he has done, quoting Larmor's statement to his Vice-Chancellor, who is an old friend of 'R'. He wonders if 'M.F.' [Michael Foster?] would speak with the Vice-Chancellor, so that R's interests were in the best hands. |
