| Title | Letter from W D [William Davidson] Niven, R N Coll [Royal Naval College], to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Niven; Sir William Davidson (1842-1917); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 3 June 1897 |
| Description | A note from [Robert] Tucker has stirred him into revising the proofs and he would like Larmor to look at them, as they affect [Hector] Macdonald]. He is disposed to supply the link Macdonald thought necessary and he asks if this is done properly. There is a correction to one of Macdonald's own papers that Niven has made but he is too busy with Tripos work for Niven to worry him with it. [Alfred George] Greenhill visited and said that Royal Society Council have a number of tickets for Triton and that he had been offered one, being on Council. Niven will make enquiries via the Admiralty. |
