Begins 'Dear Vice Chancellor. / Some time ago I proposed Sir David Cecil for election to the Athenaeum.

See his entry, and that of Ross, in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. On blue paper. Folded twice for postage. Ross is not named, the letter being addressed to him as 'The Provost, / Oriel College, / Oxford.' Bold signature: 'Nuffield'. Headed 'PERSONAL' and beginning: 'My dear Provost, / Now that your term as Vice-Chancellor has come to an end, I feel I should like to send you a brief assurance of the warmth of my appreciation of the valuable help you have always so readily given in the development of my Trusts and my other University interests.' He realises that the 'advancement' of the trusts 'is dependant to no small extent on the active interest of the Vice-Chancellor', and he and 'the many who are actively concerned in the progress of the Trusts, are very sensible of the gratitude we owe to you for the intentness of your co-operation during the last three years.'.

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. The three items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn; the second is lightly spotted. Each is folded once. All three signed 'Bryce'. ONE: 13 February 1914. No place. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. Begins: 'My dear Ross / I should like [to] help in so good a cause, but cannot possibly venture to make any promise for a date so distant as Nov. next. It would be "a tempting of Providence" as we say in Scotland.' He is not even certain whether he will be in England then, 'and there is nothing one has more to avoid than the breaking of promises'. He is 'glad to hear of the movement: & it will be much reinforced if the idea of a School of Social Studies in Oxford goes forward'. TWO: 23 February 1915. 1p, 16mo. On Hindleap letterhead. He apologises for having been 'prevented by incessant work from sooner sending you a donation to the Barnett House Fund'. He hopes 'to hear more about its working from you when next in Oxford'. THREE: 4 December 1917. On House of Lords letterhead. 2pp, 12mo. He is sorry to learn that 'the Poplar experiment did not succeed', but has no doubt that Ross's 'discretion was wisely exercised'. The 'contribution as a mark of sympathy' that he is enclosing 'has to be small, because there are charitable war causes so much more urgent, and making so strong a personal appeal to me that I am obliged to reserve for them all that I can give'. Concludes: 'I gather that Oriel, and doubtless many another college, has fewer undergraduates than ever.'.

8vo. pp. 2. (horizontal & vertical folds). Ross tells the poet and Bard of the St. Andrew's Society, that he is glad that Murray was pleased with Ross's speech on the unveiling of Sir Oliver Mowat's statue and goes on to praise Mowat: "The dear old man deserves all I could say about him. He was personally a most likeable man and his public and party services were of the greatest constitutional and practical value.".
