Scope and content
Garden House Cambridge. - Is sending Rouse Ball some 'curves and figures drawn by my Father... Some of them are interesting for the care with which they are drawn if for nothing else and I thought one might be selected for the library if nothing of the sort was selected with the books'. Also encloses a letter from Professor Forsyth [now O.6.6/40]; 'you may consider this will justify you in destroying any of the papers which no one will care to keep for sentimental reasons'.
