Imperial College of Science and Technology (Royal College of Science), South Kensington, London, S. W. 7. - Shortly after Cayley's father's death, Forsyth went through his papers at his widow's request; considers that 'everything had already been published save one short paper: and this was included in one of the volumes of his Collected Works'. Understands from personal experience how troublesome the task of dealing with papers can be.
