Also included is a discussion of the proposed expansion of the Bodleian Library, with a request that Scott publish a letter written by his wife [Helen Allen] on the subject.
There is a request for the recommendation of students for potential employment by the Manchester Guardian, though it is eventually decided not to hire new staff at this time, including internal memoranda discussing a meeting with Mr Berlin, the recommended student. There is also discussion of Scott's pleasure at receiving news of T.P. Monnington.
Also included is correspondence with E.T. Scott relating to arrangements to supply Allen with a copy of the photograph and memorial supplement [published on the occasion of the death of C.P. Scott], expression of thanks for the appreciation of the life and work of C.P. Scott in the college minutes, and discussion of an invitation to attend a gaudy at Corpus Christi College.
