Letter on becoming Master

23, West Road, Cambridge. - Thanks Bessie for her letter; they will indeed 'all miss our beloved Will [Arnold-Forster], who was 'so much to us in our younger days'. His portrait of her hangs in the dining room here with an artificial light over it; they 'could not make much of it' in the [Trinity Master's] Lodge as the lighting was difficult, but now it is back in its proper place. She and George are 'happily back in this house'; hopes they will stay here 'forever' now; the Lodge was 'impossible' once she became 'so feeble in walking'. The Adrians have not yet moved in, since there are 'such huge repairs to be done' on the electric wiring and structural deficiencies; is 'thankful to be out of it'.

Regarding the instalment of the new clock in Bentley's time as Master, and John Harrison's association with Trinity. With card from Adrian to H. M. Adams, the Librarian, passing on the letter and mentioning an attempt to find references to Harrison in the collections.

On headed notepaper for The Bath Club, 74 St. James's Street, S.W.1.- At Christmas 1956 the writer received prints of the photographs of the Master [Lord Adrian] which Duff 'liked so much', from a 'Polish colleague who had attended our Congress the previous summer'; wrote to him asking for the loan of the negative, but heard nothing until this Christ,as, when 'lo and behold a fresh set of prints arrived'. Encloses six of them.

With envelope postmarked 7 Jan. 1858, Kingston on Thames, Surrey, addressed to Duff at Trinity but forwarded on to Elvet Garth, Durham, and labelled 'Joe | Adrian photos''.

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'.
