Scope and content

Letter from Philip Grierson, in typescript, dated 5 February 1983, beginning with arrangements for IS's upcoming visit to Cambridge, then discussing Clare's plans for the construction of a new college library in the middle of Memorial Court, which PG regards most unfavourably. He continues with the rumour that the next Regius Professor will be Hugh Thomas, wonders "why anyone should want a political career", passes on news of the death of Hävernick and Yvon, and comments on the poor condition of Otto Mørkholm. There are some annotations on the verso in the manuscript of IS.
