TitleLetter from H F [Hugh Frank] Newall, Madingley Rise, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorNewall; Hugh Frank (1857-1944) British astrophysicist and educational benefactor
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date15 January 1914
DescriptionHe has been fighting Larmor's battles, which will likely explode in 'The Times'. He has been gradually recovering faith after correspondence with [Henry Frederick] Baker, who has written wisely that the election had been made with the intention that a mathematician should be divested to astronomy, rather than a traditionally astronomical chair should be directed to a pure mathematician. Newall has been reassured, and asks if Larmor would come to see him to talk over an endowment. G.W. Walker seems keen to get the lectureship vacated by Baker.
