Scope and content
Laregan, France Lynch, Glos. - Thanks Rouse Ball for thinking of him in the distribution of Cayley's papers; will put the MS in the Collected Works and 'treasure it for its giver's sake as well as its writer's'. Has now retired from 'active service at Liverpool' and moved down to Gloucestershire with his wife and daughters; describes the neighbourhood. Asks for news of the Frazers. Would like to subscribe to the fund for the Master's portrait, but does not want a print; 'the reason is not that I do not admire J. J's great scientific achievements, but that I have a smaller house now'.
