Photocopy of a letter about 'the activities of Dr. Peierls and Dr. Frisch' on the Los Alamos project, dated 6 August 1946 and declassified 7 April 1982. The letter describes Frisch's work as that of 'a group leader in the Experimental Physics Division carrying out basic experiments in nuclear, neutron and fission physics', and states that 'His extraordinary familiarity with nuclear theory as well as his exceptional experimental skill caused him to be of the greatest value to the atomic bomb experiment'.

Contains miscellaneous bundles of calculations, mainly in Thomson's hand. None are dated, but some relate to a letter from Thomson to R. Peierls, 13 August 1940, a copy of which is included in the folder. Also included is a letter from J.L. Michiels, 12 January 1940.

A later note by Thomson on the front of the folder reads `Most of my papers on this subject are at Churchill College' [Cambridge]. Churchill College holds one box of papers relating to the MAUD Committee which Thomson deposited at the request of Sir John Cockcroft in 1966. Permission to consult these should be obtained from The Archivist, Churchill College, Cambridge.
