TitleLetter from Arthur W [William] Rücker, 19 Gledhow Gardens, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorRücker, Sir Arthur William (1848–1915), British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date6 June 1901
DescriptionHe sends a typewritten copy [of his British Association address] and asks for its return once Larmor is done. His subject if the reality of atoms and he is not sure if Larmor would agree with his point of view, but that would make him a better critic. He has not corrected small errors yet and Larmor should not. The main difficulty is the mixed audience and therefore he has tried to make it intelligible to those with little knowldge of science. He thinks it a muddle as a result, and he encloses on query [presumably MS/603/9/186].
