| Title | Letter from W [William] Ramsay, 12 Arundel Gardens, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Ramsay; Sir William (1852-1916); British physical chemist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 8 August 1902 |
| Description | He thinks he has Larmor to thank for the gift of [George Francis] Fitzgerald's scientific writings. Fitzgerald used to try, unsuccessfully, to explain his labours to Ramsay, a non-mathematician. He has just returned from Dublin, where all regret Fitzgerald's death, giving an account of Mrs. George [Fitzgerald]. Ramsay describes his own son, who he thinks may become an engineer, and he asks for advice on mathematical coaching. |
