Scope and Content
Access Information
Unless restrictions apply, the collection is open for consultation by researchers using the Manuscripts Reading Room at Cambridge University Library. For further details on conditions governing access please contact mss@lib.cam.ac.uk. Information about opening hours and obtaining a Cambridge University Library reader's ticket is available from the Library's website (www.lib.cam.ac.uk).
Acquisition Information
These letters and papers were apparently consulted from time to time by Dunsterville and by other members of the family (see letter 134). Their history from the 1920s on is obscure; all that can be said for certain is that they were purchased by the Library, from the dealer Julian Browning, in 1998.
