Description

Handwritten letter from Sir Oliver Lodge to George F. Fitzgerald, without date. Lodge criticises the science journal, the Electrician, for not publishing Fitzgerald's letter and discusses future plans. He speculates whether William Thomas Kelvin and John William Strutt Rayleigh will come to the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. 1p

Transcription:
"Φ,
What's that about the Electrician not publishing a letter of yours? You ought not to sit quietly and submit to that. They would have a rebellion if it were known. No one of importance would write.
As to Cardiff I appreciate your kindly wish to come but Mrs Morgan the paramount has claims. You can't come under the circumstances, unless indeed they should happen to turn out more propitious than they usually do.
So I shall not expect you, notwithstanding that it will be very dull without you. Try and get things over before 19 Aug if possible. I don't think W.T. is coming either. I hope old R is. I fear everybody is saving up for Edinburgh. It's not surprising.
λ"
