Includes letters from Edward Salisbury, Robert Schlapp, F. J. Scrase, P. A. Sheppard, O. G. Sutton, George Thomson, C. K. Thornhill, Constance Tipper, Robin Turner, Fritz Ursell, and Michal Vyvyan.

Constance Elam, working at the Royal School of Mines, 'inspired' Taylor's interest in studying the deformation of crystalline materials, and collaborated with him in various studies on the subject, and on the Bakerian Lecture of the Royal Society in 1923.
The early correspondence refers to these collaborative studies and papers; the letters (all from the Royal School of Mines) give the date of the month, but not the year and are tentatively assigned to 1924 and 1927. The letter of `November 9th' (?1924) describes her tough interrogation at a Royal Society meeting and sends 'Many thanks for standing up for me at the R.S. I really felt horribly squashed'.
The letters 1961-75 are mainly personal, with reminiscences and recollections, and include arrangements for a commemorative dinner of the Royal Society Dining Club on 14 June 1973, 50 years after the Bakerian Lecture by Taylor and Elam. Dr. Tipper was present, but Taylor's health prevented him from attending.
