[Letter to George F. FitzGerald from E. Tremlett Carter],
Carter, E. Tremlett
Heaviside, Oliver, 1850-1925.
Handwritten letter from Edward Tremlett Carter, Fleet Street, London to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 25 October 1898. Tremlett Carter responds to discourse surrounding Oliver Heaviside and "The Electrician" periodical. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald I hasten to reply to your letter of yesterday's date, to say how vexed I am that Oliver Heaviside's name should by any chance or mischance be associated with the note in question. Of course he has nothing to do with the matter, and I never dreamed that anyone could connect him with it. It is also disappointing to find that "The Electrician" could rest under the suspicion of such an attack as that you allude to. We would never think of such a thing! Probably you have not observed in contemporary technical and other journals a number of unsigned articles fearing ignorance and injustice upon their very face. The author of these desrves the censure implied in the note which seems to have created so much mystery. All this in confidence. Yours faithfully E. Tremlett Carter (editor)"

Typed letter from Edward Tremlett Carter, Fleet Street, London to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 19 June 1899. Carter requests Fitzgerald's views on scientific theory and practice for publication. "Transcription: Dear Sir, The remarks made by Sir William Preece on the relation between theory and practice in his Presidential Address before the Insititution of Civil Engineers on the occassion of the recent Conference have attracted considerable attention from theorists and practicians. These remarks are embodied in my leader in the current issue of "The Electrician" and it seems probable that the remarks, together with my comments thereon in the leader, will elicit considerable discussion. The present seems a particularly opportune moment for reviewing the interdependence of science and commercial practice, or of theory and practice, and of investigating the claims of each upon the other. I should esteem it a favour, therefore, if you can let me have a letter for publication embodying your views on this important question. Yours faithfully, E. Tremlett Carter

Lyle, Thomas R.
Handwritten letter from Edward Tremlett Carter, Fleet Street, London, to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 4 August 1898. Carter accepts an offer from Fitzgerald pertaining the "The Electrician" periodical. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald I am much obliged for the offer of Prof. Lyle's paper referred to in your letter of the 3rd. inst. If the paper is not excessively long I should be pleased to publish it in The Electrician. Will you kindly send me the M.S. at your earliest convenience. Proofs had better be sent to you, I presume, in the event of the paper being of suitable length for acceptance. I will send you duplicate proofs and will be much obliged if you will revise and return one of them. If you can let me have one or two editorial notes commenting on the paper, or a leader on its subject matter, I would be additionally pleased. I suppose I shall have the pleasure of seeing you at the B.G. at Bristol next month. Yours sincerely, E. Tremlett Carter (editor)"
