The main sequence of correspondence (J.1 - J.124) is presented alphabetically, dated, and with an indication of any material of particular scientific or biographical interest. Most of the correspondence is with individuals, but some societies and organisations are also included.

There are few very substantial exchanges and it is clear that there are considerable gaps in the material; in particular there is very little early correspondence on electron diffraction, and the only letter in the collection from J.J. Thomson is at C.3.

J.125 - J.134 consists of shorter correspondence, mostly unindexed.

The correspondence in this section is presented as follows:

J/1-J/341: Alphabetical by correspondent, 1927-1994.
J/342-J/412: Shorter scientific correspondence, 1936-1993. Presented in chronological order; indexed.
J/413-J/422: Requests for off-prints, 1940-1990. Presented in alphabetical order; not indexed.
J/423-J/443: References and recommendations, 1948-1985 and undated. Further subdivided as follows:
J/423-J/424: Grants and funding, 1948-1976
J/425-J/430: Higher degrees, 1950-1980
J/431-J/435: Royal Society, 1951-1985
J/436-J/437, Honours and awards, 1951-1983
J/438-J/442: Appointments and promotions, 1954-171
J/443: Requests for advice
Note that some recommendations etc appear in the files of correspondence arranged alphabetically by correspondent, J/1-J/341.

Chambercombe Park Terrace, Ilfracombe, N. Devon; addressed to Hall at The Vicarage, Barton Turf, Norwich, Norfolk. - Will be pleased to accept 10 shillings for the autograph book; thinks it must have been the work of her grandmother or great aunt. Hall mentions the Paston family: her own ancestors of that name came from Beaudesert, Warwickshire, and she does not know of anything connecting them with the family of the same name from Norfolk. Wishes her father, who had a 'head for heraldry', was alive to 'chat with' Hall.

(Most of the entries for 1800 and 1801 are grouped by year and arranged in alphabetical order, but there are some additional entries for both years at the end.)

(The entries for 1790-9 are grouped by year and arranged either in chronological order (1790-3) or in alphabetical order of correspondent (1796-9), while the entries for 1799 and 1800 are mixed together in alphabetical order. Entries for Nos. 21-5 (letters from Turner to his mother) were added at the end in the same hand as the preceding entries. A few entries were added later by Dawson Turner.)

(The list is arranged in alphabetical order of the correspondents’ names. There are a number of errors and omissions, including the following. There are no entries for Nos. 30, 32, 62, 80, 80a, 96, or 119, or for TURN II II1/1. No. 125 is undated. No. 23 is dated 17 Mar. and No. 113 is dated 11 Oct.)

(The index, which covers the contents of the two volumes O.13.17 and O.13.18, is arranged in alphabetical order of the correspondents’ names and is in two parts, one for names from A to K, the other for names from L to W.)

(This index covers the contents of the two volumes O.13.13 and O.13.14. There are two lists, one for names beginning with the letters A to J, and one of C. D. E. Konig’s letters; the other for the rest.)

(The reference to a letter from James Dalton dated 13 Jan. is apparently a mistaken reference to a sheet which forms part of No. 26. This error probably occurred because the inscription ‘No. 13’ at the head of the sheet was mistaken for ‘Jan. 13’ and the letters ‘T.O.’ (‘turn over’) at the foot were mistaken for ‘J. D.’)

(The index, which covers the contents of the two volumes O.13.19 and O.13.20, is arranged in alphabetical order of the correspondents’ names and is in two parts, one for names from A to K, the other for names from L to W.)

(There are two lists, one for each year.)

(There are two lists, one for each year. The 1805 list includes five items from 1804 (Nos. 82-3, 90, 95, and 97), one from 1806 (No. 187), and a number of undated entries, of which one is probably No. 113, which was written in 1802, and two others probably relate to two letters in the next volume (Nos. 28 and 46) which are not mentioned in the index to that volume.)

(The index is headed ‘Alphabetical Index from January to December 1817’, but in fact only covers the contents of the present volume.)
