| 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 | 10 June 1909 |
| Description | He was sorry to hear about [John Edensor] Littlewood's paper. The results are probably right and valuable, but he may have been in too great a hurry to publish. Many young men treat this like an examination, 'to get the thing out somehow'. He has written to Littlewood advising him to withdraw the paper for further consideration. Lamb will try to find out about 'the Mackinnon people'. |
