Title Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to the Rev. J H Griffiths, St. Augustine's Rectory, Gurney Court, Norwich
Date20 January 1913
Description'I have made enquiries in various quarters without obtaining definite information about the Newtonian Scholarship mentioned in your letter of the 14th. There is certainly no such scholarship at Oxford, and i is much more likely to be at Cambridge, where I would suggest your making enquiry.
I do not understand what your correspondent, Mr Ferris, refers to as his Society at Burlington House. His name is unknown here.
I have an impression that a scholarship or foundation of some kind at Cambridge was endowed in recent years by the late Mr Frank Maclean, a Fellow in this Society and it might be worth your wile to inquire about this.'
