  • Strutt , Guy R. November 1990 . Terling, Essex November , to the author, 26 including a ‘Handlist-Kelvin-Rayleigh Correspondence’, prepared by Bruce Hunt. Sixty-six of the 156 items in this collection are cited or printed in Thompson's biography or in Robert John Strutt Rayleigh's Life of John William Strutt, Third Baron Rayleigh (London, 1924), and thus were available to Smith and Wise in that form; however, Strutt quoted only at most a paragraph each from twenty-three of these sixty-six letters. The Rayleigh Papers at Terling also include letters from Thomson to G. H. Darwin and to J. J. Thomson, and from Lord Armstrong and Joseph Larmor to Thomson, none of which is used by Smith and Wise.
