On headed notepaper for 86 Chesterton Road, Cambridge. Has been a supervisor to Ambrose for more than two years, while she has been researching for her Ph.D. on 'Finitism in Mathematics'. She is 'an industrious & intelligent student, very well aware of the difficulties of the subject...& very persevering in her efforts to overcome them. She is keenly interested not only in the particular subject of her research but in philosophical problems generally'. Thinks 'she would be a competent & stimulating teacher of philosophy'.
Moore, George Edward (1873–1958), philosopher
