thanking him for his "frank letter. It is perfectly true that I have done nothing to help you in building up the social life of the University.

Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Humberstone,
telling him that his "letter had bad luck. It followed me into a remote corner of Wales, where I was under medical care, which did its best to prevent my attending to any letters ... Thus it got (as I was told) mislaid. I have now got back to affairs and I see that the date for your nomination has past - I don't know that it matters, because I am not an Elector in the Arts or Science Faculties (but only in Laws), so that I could not properly, even if legally, have been one of your nominators ... I am ashamed to know so little about these elections to the Senate ...", 3 sides 8vo., 41 Grosvenor Road, Westminster Embankment, 15th September

We were asked by a very distinguished author who was invalided and whom we knew intimately, to make such a recommendation, which we promptly did; but the author, on enquiry as to the likelihood of getting extra Civil Service Pensions during the war did not use our remmendation [sic] as he gathered the list was closed ...", 1 side 8vo., Passfield Corner, Liphook, 2nd July
