Transcription:
"M d Φ
Such a job I have had to make questions after the holidays. I always feel perfectly ignored after holidays. I hope a [s?] no of them will do. I think among them there are enough for paper V, especially if you add one or 2. I enclose another of Howard's (I enclosed 3 of his last time). The questions are not in order of difficulty, I must leave that to you. But the M.Sc. men will need a fair supply of easy ones for the 1st 3 papers. I fancy my Electricity ones are rather hard. Perhaps Schuster's are better for this part.
Yours,
Λ"
