CreatorRutherford; Ernest; Baron Rutherford of Nelson (1871-1937); New Zealand physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date2 June 1909
DescriptionRutherford is delighted that Larmor will go to Canada for the British Association meeting. He has received the communications about [Thomas Howell] Laby's radium and will attend to it. He asks to be told when the Mackinnon Scholarship comes up, as he has a man, Wilson, up for the award. Wilson shows promise and has found some important things, as Larmor will find out when he reads his manuscript. Rutherford is worried about his British Association Address, and he complains at length about it.
