1 Brick Court, Temple, London. E.C.4. Dated April 8th 1920 - At a meeting of the Committee of the Expedition [William] Mackie offered another £1000 for the fund, which had been invested in War Loans which had lost value; is planning on writing a fuller report on the expedition for 'Man'; have moved back into the Middle Temple flat, Lilly still has a racking cough; spent a day in Cambridge and saw various friends (W. J. Lewis, J. W. Capstick, and J. J. Thomson, but not Henry Jackson), and has been offered an honorary degree; has had a friendly letter from [William] Ridgeway; has a copy of 'Totemism and Taboo' by 'a German or Austrian psychologist [Sigmund Freud], who borrows most of his facts from me', 'he seems to have a great vogue with some people'.

Laregan, France Lynch, Glos. - Thanks Rouse Ball for thinking of him in the distribution of Cayley's papers; will put the MS in the Collected Works and 'treasure it for its giver's sake as well as its writer's'. Has now retired from 'active service at Liverpool' and moved down to Gloucestershire with his wife and daughters; describes the neighbourhood. Asks for news of the Frazers. Would like to subscribe to the fund for the Master's portrait, but does not want a print; 'the reason is not that I do not admire J. J's great scientific achievements, but that I have a smaller house now'.

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Her husband has asked her to report on the College Council discussions of the Wyse Fund: the Statutes do not allow a double Fellowship being allocated, and no funds allowed for Beneficent purposes may be voted to a Fellow; she does hope 'that a successful plan will quietly be carried out by the user of The Wyse fund'.
