| Title | Letter from E [Eliza] Adams, 4 Brookside, Cambridge, to [Andrew Russell] Forsyth |
| Creator | Adams [nee Bruce]; Eliza (1827-1919); Irish |
| Recipient | Forsyth; Andrew Russell (1858-1942); British mathematician |
| Date | 22 June 1903 |
| Description | She was glad to learn of what is to be done in memory of 'the most distinguished of men' [George Gabriel Stokes]. A £5 contribution is enclosed for the Fund. If a larger sum is to be raised than required for the Westminster Abbey medallion, then perhaps a medal prize should be established at Cambridge. The late Lady Stokes showed her a medallion by Laurence Humphry, which Lady Stokes considered the best likeness since [Albert] Bruce Joy's earlier medallion. She thinks Humphry's portrait would be an aid to the current medallion artist [Hamo Thornycroft].
With a note by A.R. Forsyth on the cheque deposit. |
