In answer to Prof. Baker's questions, he describes in detail his war work in the Anti-Aircraft Experimental Section, Munitions Inventions Department. Gives a list of the members of the section, with Cambridge College where known. Also discusses a particular PhD student (unnamed) whose oral examination they will be conducting.

Has examined the three papers submitted by MHAN in support of his Fellowship application. Is not able to give a definitive judgement on the papers as he is not an expert in the field, but, though he regrets 'that abstract logic has such an attraction for the writer', highly commends the papers as being by somebody who is a 'man of worldwide rank'. Recommends MHAN for a Fellowship.

Concern algebraic geometry.

Discusses mathematical problems.

Thanks HFB for his offer [to propose GUY for membership of the RS]. Sends a list of his papers.

Discusses mathematical formulae.

Asks if HFB thinks his work good enough for him to become a member of the Royal Society and asks HFB to propose him if he thinks it has a chance of success. Notes the strained relations he has with the only other statitician in the RS, Karl Pearson, which makes the situation difficult.
