Lists attendees at Wittgenstein's lectures and Whewell's Court gatherings in 1930-1931 and 1931-1932. Expands information given in Wittgenstein's Lectures 1930-1932 on Broad's notes, is now 'as sure as I can be that these stem from conversations with Con Drury'; his own friendship with Drury.

Tale of A. E. Housman refusing to let Wittgenstein use his lavatory; 'He [Wittgenstein] was greatly perturbed, indeed very angry, and poured out the whole sorry story to me with great indignation. He was incapable of an unthinking, mean or selfish act of this sort'.

Kindness shown by Wittgenstein to Francis Skinner, and to King himself. 'It has been fashionable nowadays to denigrate great men and to ascribe to them failings which were hidden in their lifetime... Those of us knew LW in the 30's saw not an iota of what Bartley ascribes to him; and [it] is about as remote from his behavior as, say, landing on the moon. Nothing ever suggested to me that there was anything remotely resembling homosexual interest and of all men I have ever met, he was the most ascetic.'

King's confidence in the reliability of his recollections of Wittgenstein's lectures and other conversations with him.

'All of this material has either been published in LW Personal Recollections or in LW Lectures 1930-32 or sent to Brian McGuinness, at Queen's College, Oxford who is writing the biography'.

Downs Lodge {1} 25th June 1802.

My dear Sir

I find we have been playing at “hide & Seek”; I left Town this morning pretty early, on the chance of seeing you & Mrs Turner at dinner at Downs Lodge, for I had the mortification, on my calling at Doctor Scott’s yesterday, that you had not received the Letter I wrote to you in reply to yours of Monday Evening, {2} & of course I had no Certainty of having that pleasure, but I was resolved to take all chances.—I cannot sufficiently regret that the shortness of your stay in Ireland, & the untoward circumstances that have happened have deprived me of the satisfaction I should have had in paying you & Mrs Turner the attention I could have wished.—Mrs Patrick & my Daughters inform me, of the pleasure the[y] received during your very short stay with them, & desire I may present their kindest compliments & good wishes for a pleasant passage across the Water, in which I sincerely join, & in the hope, that you may ere long afford us the opportunity of showing you something more than you & Mrs Turner have seen, of Town & Country, being with great sincerity

My dear Sir | Yours very truly—

J Patrick {3}

When you see our worthy Friends at Coltishall {4} We beg to be kindly remembred†.

Pray present our compts to Doctor Scott.

Letters relating to W. Aldis Wright's editions of Shakespeare (including collaborations with W. G. Clark) as well as notes on the texts and suggested emendations. Some letters addressed to W. G. Clark; several letters with no addressee may have originally been directed to him). Many letters from C. M. Ingleby and Brinsley Nicholson. A leather book binding, separated from its contents and in three pieces, is in the box [pencil note on inside front cover reads 'Add.MS.b.58 69-217]; the spine is stamped 'Shakespeare. Dyce 8', perhaps suggesting that some of the notes are by Alexander Dyce.

Letter, 6 Mar. 1978, from Bose to King. Discusses his old age and bad health; was a joy hearing from King, whom he remembers well. Memories of others, such as Rose, and those who have now died, like Azhar Ali, D. Raja Ram and S. Das Gupta. Would be glad to pass on his reminiscences of Wittgenstein. 'He was a very good friend to me, but I cannot say he succeeded in teaching me much philosophy'. Adds postscript asking if King is in touch with Con Drury and A. R. M. Murray, who both knew Wittgenstein.

Incomplete photocopy of letter, 5 Apr. 1978, from Bose to King. Praises King's plan of collaborating with Desmond Lee to publish their notes of Wittgenstein's lectures of 1930-1932. Fears he will be disappointed in what Bose can contribute. Answers questions specifically put to him: the dates of his time at Cambridge, and attendance at Wittgenstein's lectures; can only remember [Con] Drury and Professor Moore specifically among regular attendants; cannot answer the third question; did not take notes of the lectures, and now does not have any memory of the contents. General recollections of Wittgenstein: learnt 'very little' from him as a philosopher, but he was a good friend. Discussion of a Sanskrit word for friend, 'suhrid'. Wittgenstein obtained a sleeping drug for Bose from Switzerland when he was suffering from insomnia, and used to meet him out of each of his morning Part II exams, go for lunch with him, then walk him back for the afternoon paper. His first encounter with Wittgenstein was at a meeting of the Moral Science Club in the Lent Term of 1929 at which Bose read a paper on the nature of moral judgement and Wittgenstein asked several questions. Sometimes they would go for walks together, sometimes visit each other (Wittgenstein was at the time living in rooms in Maurice Dobb's house). Anecdote about Braithwaite asking Wittgenstein what title he wished to give his lectures, to which Wittgenstein answered, 'The subject of the lectures would be philosophy. What else can be the title of the lectures but Philosophy'.
