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'.

Photograph taken in Nevile's Court, Trinity, other figures in background. Annotation on the back in pen: 'M. L. 1956'; the photographs are said in the letter which accompanies them to be from 'a Polish colleague who had attended our Congress'.

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'.

Adrian had been a contemporary of Taylor at Trinity and remained one of his closest friends; many of the personal letters in Section A include references to meetings, dinners, holidays, etc. shared by the Adrian and Taylor families. Because of their close personal contact, little correspondence remains.

Folder includes two letters from A.S.F. Gow, 1972, about Adrian's car accident.
