| Title | Letter from W D [William Davidson] Niven, Eastburn, Sidcup, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Niven; Sir William Davidson (1842-1917); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 12 July 1907 |
| Description | He had intended to write after his second reading of [Thomas Henry] Havelock's paper, but will not refer to business as Larmor is so tired. Larmor's invitation to go the the Engadine is tempting but he cannot leave home as a servant is laid up in Moorfields Hospital, and he could not leave Agnes by herself. She may send for a niece from Aberdeen; the servants usually go away when Niven does. His brother has been pressing him to go fishing. He thinks that a rest in Cambridge will be the best cure for Larmor and the Engadine might be physically tiring. He has hopes of seeing Larmor at Sidcup. |
