23 Suffolk St., Pall Mall - JDF's days in Cambridge 'were some of the happiest of my life'. He regrets that he did not have the opportunity to have had 'a systematic education within the walls of Trinity'. JDF is devoted to the pursuit of the physical sciences: 'in the present state of Science a liberal basis of mathematical knowledge is indispensable to its successful prosecution'. JDF has never had a lesson in mathematics and has taught himself from book one of Euclid to the integral calculus. 'It is one of the current mistakes of the present popularizing system to imagine that difficulties in the pursuit of knowledge are confined to the lower classes'. Could WW point out to him a course of study to assist his work in the theory of heat and the science of meteorology.

RIM will not be attending the BAAS meeting at Cambridge for various reasons, but mainly because of Adam Sedgwick's dislike of him: 'If I did not feel that he had irresolvably made up his mind to be alienated from me, I would still make every effort in my power to win back his friendship. For a long time and even during our gelogical disputes about nomenclature, he declared that they never could or should interupt our friendship and I am at a loss to know why in the last years he has become so morose and unforgiving' [see Adam Sedgwick to Everina Affleck, 25 September 1862].

Royal Hotel, Blackfriars.
9 April 1873.

My dear Sir,

You will, I trust, by this have learnt out of a letter of our friend Furnivall, that I intend to pay you a visit on Good Friday {1}. As my present stay in England is so very limited and as I must be back to my academical duties at the 17th., it is impossible for me to defer my trip to Cambridge untill† next week. My leisure is indeed so fully occupied that I must return to London on Good Friday night. But my chief object is to see you and I hope you will manage to bestow on me as much as you can of your time for the course of Friday. Mr. Furnivall told me of a train leaving Kings Cross at nine o’clock in the morning, and I shall take that. Of course, on my arrival I shall immediately proceed to Trinity College, so you must not take the trouble of coming to the Railway Station. Yours, very faithfully

N. Delius.

My dear Gerald,

I have got your letter of Oct. 11 and am glad to hear of your doings, but the earlier letter which you speak of did not find its way to me. I expect it was eaten by a lion, as you may have been by this time.

If I remember right, you were here in May just before I went off to Venice to see my gondolier. I found him better than I expected, as hot weather suits him, and he is still alive, but he’s just gone into hospital with hemorrhage. I stayed there only a few days, and then spent a week or so in Paris. In July and August I was at my old home and other haunts of childhood in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. At Woodchester, once my grandfather’s parish, there is a Roman pavement, the finest in England, which is uncovered and shown from time to time, and this year was one of those occasions: I spent a week in the place, which I should have enjoyed more if I had not been dragged in to make explanatory speeches to the visitors, owing to the lack of persons in the village who could do it. Then I made a short motoring tour in Derbyshire, to see the most picturesque spots.

I heard from your mother not long ago, but I need not tell you any of her news. I am glad that Africa is geologically a good continent, and I hope its Christmas weather is not too hot.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

My dear Clemence,

I enclose:—

A letter from Basil,
Kate’s letter to you,
Two letters from A. Parker to Laurence.

I will fall in with either Kate’s scheme or Basil’s, if the rest of you can agree on either. For my own part I should prefer to do as A. Parker suggests, and let things continue on as at present till Aunt Kate’s death or at anyrate till the £150 in hand is exhausted. When either of those events arrives, it is to be hoped and expected that we shall all be either dead or richer than now. But I will not oppose any solution which finds favour with the rest of you; and I can quite well pay either £93.15.0 or £125; only, as I have just spent £70 on my new book (a sum which the sale of the whole edition will not bring in), and may want to spend another similar sum before two years are out, and am contributing by instalments of £20 a special subscription of £100 to the College, and have indulged in the luxury of an assistant, who costs £50, and have been rather extravagant in the matter of foreign travel,—it would reduce my balance at the bankers below the comfortable margin which would enable me to flee to the continent at any moment with a year’s income in my pockets, or lend a hundred or two at a moment’s notice to a friend who might want it. I don’t know whether the way Basil proposes to dispose of your money has your sanction.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman.

8 Macpherson Avenue, Toronto, Canada.—Asks for a specimen of the Society’s book-plate, and sends two of his own design.

(The design at the head of the paper is similar to Add. MS a. 684/1/2. The Bibliographical Society did not have a Librarian; the letter was presumably passed to R. B. McKerrow as Secretary.)

83 Macpherson Avenue, Toronto, Canada
2nd November 1918

Mr Stanley Harrod presents his compliments to the Librarian of the Bibliographical Society and begs to request that he may be favoured with one of the society’s bookplates by C. W. Sherborn.

He wishes to explain that in taking this somewhat presumptuous step he is actuated solely by a desire to possess examples of the highest attainment in this field of art, that by their study he may improve his own work. To accomplish this end he must appeal to the courtesy and generosity of the owners of the plates.

He encloses two of his own designs in the hope that they may prove of some slight interest.

Scrapbook recording the life of a Trinity College student from 1899 to 1902, with programmes, menus, dance cards, college notices, club and society notices and memorabilia and other printed ephemera, as well as letters and photographs. Many items carry captions, though some people are identified only by their initials and many items are pasted down so that only their front cover is visible.

There is material relating to the Boat Club, Granta, the Pitt Club, the Trinity Foot Beagles, and the A.D.C., the Cambridge Old Haileyburian Club, and one or two items from the Nihilists Club, the Trinity Lawn Tennis Club, The Trinity Historical Society, and the Trinity Association Football club. There is also material from his summer holidays, with cards and notices from Newmarket, the Micklegate Ward Conservative Association and Club Cricket Match in August 1901, the Grasmere & Lake District Annual Athletic Sports Letters include those from Chancellor A. W. Ward regarding the selection of a play for the A.D.C. ("The Dean's Dilemma" by C. Tennyson and R. H. Malden), and two letters from R. C. Lehmann, Barry Pain, and Owen Seaman relating to Jones' work on Granta, and R. St. John Parry about the gift of a letter from Sir W. Gilbert to Trinity College Library (now catalogued as Add. MS c. 1/147). Menus include those for formal events and dances, as well as private dinners in Cambridge and at Trinity, and other diners are often recorded, A. A. Milne appearing as a fellow diner twice. Names of those friends who appear often in the scrapbook are: J. S. Agnew, J. W. Cropper, K. V. Elphinstone, J. G. Gordon, V. P. Powell, G. B. Wainwright, E. Wyatt-Davies, and J. R. Wharton.
