TitleLetter from William Ridgeway, Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorRidgeway; Sir William (1853-1926); Irish classical scholar
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date3 March 1922
DescriptionRidgeway thanks Larmor for his official report, with the report of his speech. It was not to the advantage of civil servants who have to serve under 'whoever may be the tyrant of the day in Ireland'. He does not agree with Larmor that persons with interests at stake in the new conditions have made too much fuss, since Ridgeway is one of them. He discusses his own pension and those of late Queen's College professors, who have received assurance from the Lord Privy Seal. He has no sympathy with Nationalists and Sinn Feiners. He conlcudes by making derogatory comments about [Marcus] Hartog.
