Autograph Letter Signed to Capt Humberstone,
thanking him for his "frank letter. It is perfectly true that I have done nothing to help you in building up the social life of the University. We cannot all do everything and I am not exactly disengaged! I am in fact, not good at the social side, and I belong to (literally) to no clubs whatever, partly from reasons of economy ..." agreeing to dine with him and to "meet any members you may get together ... I shall be glad to discuss Educational matters with you and others. It is not easy to get out definite programmes on such a subject ...", 3 sides 8vo., 41 Grosvenor Road, Westminster Embankment, 20th November

Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Humberstone,
telling him that his "letter had bad luck. It followed me into a remote corner of Wales, where I was under medical care, which did its best to prevent my attending to any letters ...

I have now got back to affairs and I see that the date for your nomination has past - I don't know that it matters, because I am not an Elector in the Arts or Science Faculties (but only in Laws), so that I could not properly, even if legally, have been one of your nominators ... I am ashamed to know so little about these elections to the Senate ...", 3 sides 8vo., 41 Grosvenor Road, Westminster Embankment, 15th September

Typed letter signed to Mr Lloyd Humberstone
saying that her "husband and I are both of us over righty [sic] years of age and more or less invalided, and feel that we are not the right people to support an application for a Civil List Pension. We were asked by a very distinguished author who was invalided and whom we knew intimately, to make such a recommendation, which we promptly did; but the author, on enquiry as to the likelihood of getting extra Civil Service Pensions during the war did not use our remmendation [sic] as he gathered the list was closed ...", 1 side 8vo., Passfield Corner, Liphook, 2nd July
