Dear Stephen,

Thank you very much for your letter. I certainly hope to come to the Cranium dinner on 13 June.

I am interested to hear of your encounter with the present Master of Trinity. I always stay with him now when I visit Cambridge. Years ago Rab Butler, when Master, laid it down that I should always be housed at the Master’s Lodge whenever I came to Cambridge; and subsequent Masters, Alan Hodgkin, Andrew Huxley and now Michael Atiyah, have hospitably continued the tradition. It is perhaps quite suitable, as I am now—and have been for several years—the senior Honorary Fellow of the College. But in fact I don’t visit Cambridge very often—apart from Feasts at Trinity—and, what with extreme old age and decrepitude, my visits may become even fewer. But I hope that some day I may have the chance of visiting Lammas House. In the meantime I have happy memories of my all too brief visit to you at Canonbury.

Yours
Steven

Thanks Joe for the letter and the 'excellent prints'; showed them to Alan Hodgkin, 'who said he had never seen such good pictures of Adrian'. Must show them to Adrian himself and his wife. Wonders if they should be 'deposited in the Library'.
