Headed notepaper, Regent's Park College, N. W. - Lord Houghton has previously been asked to preside over the 'Annual Public Debate' of the Regent's Park Debating Society, but was not able then to accept the offer, though hoped that this might be possible on some future occasion. This year the Annual Public Debate will be on 17 Feb., on the topic '"The Sensational": a healthy characteristic of the present day?'; might Houghton be able to accept the chair this time?

Reform Club, S. W. (on embossed notepaper for the Cobden Club). - The Committee have directed him to send Houghton a copy of a letter from Goldwin Smith, for consideration at the next meeting to be held in Feb. 1868. With enclosure: copy of letter, 10 Jul. 1867, from Goldwin Smith to [Thomas Bayley] Potter. Address given as Mortimer House, Reading. Potter asks 'how the Cobden Club can be made most useful'; thinks that 'Political men are the best guides', but will give his thoughts. Seems 'impossible, if it were desirable, now to restrict the Club to the circle of Cobden's personal friends and disciple, or even to the special propagation of his economical & international doctrines', though believes this was the 'original conception'.

Suggests that there might be one principal meeting in the year, at which a paper 'on some economical or international subject' might be read before dinner and afterwards printed by the Club; that dinner should be 'good but plain and short, if possible not much exceeding an hour', and that afterwards the 'leaders' should be given the opportunity of speaking to their 'assembled followers Parliamentary and non-Parliamentary about the political subjects of the day'. There could also be evening parties two or three times each session of Parliament, to which they might 'admit ladies, and invite foreigners'. Cobden Club business might be 'got up' by 'any member you liked'. The party 'needs a social board'; the Committee should select those chosen to give the annual paper; discussion of whether Parliamentarians would be able to make the paper and dinner.

Reception Room. - Some of the 'leading Red Lions' have asked him to enquire whether, if a 'Red Lion Dinner' is held on Tuesday, Houghton would 'undertake the office of Lion King'; the dinner cannot be on Monday because of the lecture that evening.

Travellers Club. - Concerning alleged bridge of etiquette over a hat belonging to Lord George Loftus.

MS pages numbered 3-41, with a note by G.K. Batchelor, 'Found in G.I's garage in a water-stained folder, July 1976'.
Although the pagination begins p.3, the paper begins 'Some months ago Sir J.J. Thomson suggested to me to try and find some explanation of the action of crystal rectifiers, and the experiments described in this paper are the results of this suggestion'. It seems therefore that the missing pages 1 and 2 did not include the substance of the paper.
Also included is correspondence re the paper between G.K. Batchelor and A.B. Pippard, 1976.
