| Description | Writing '29 May' make him think of Charles II hiding in an oak tree; but oak laves are not properly out, so perhaps the climate has changed. He is delighted about what Larmor has to say. If any results come, he would appreciate a brief note to add to the British Association report. Toronto, Harvard, Peru and the Cape are putting up instruments, the Foreign Office is distributing circulars and he expects help from India. They must have an antipodean [seismological] station he thinks. He hopes that Larmor will put his name to a note on the value of probable results, which coudl only do good. The report will be printed in June. He gives advice to Larmor on how to read his curves, and how he drew them, noting that he sent one tracing to Lord Kelvin, who has not replied. If Larmor gets the chance he should speak to Darwin with the hope that he will put up an instrument in Cambridge. |
