45 Dr J.C. Trevor to Prof. J.H. Hutton, 31 May – returns documents relating to IK; knows she is an indefatigable worker and that her study is of great value; sympathises with her request for a calculating machine; they are extremely expensive but at Cambridge they have recently been provided with a new one by the Wellcome Trustees; the earlier model may therefore meet IK’s needs (tp.)

Trevor, 21 June – the Trustees have agreed to purchase the calculator he mentioned from Cambridge University for £50; it will be sent to IK in Poona; requests help with packing and export; the machine will remain the property of the Fund and lent to IK (tpc.); see also Horniman minutes HT/2/46, 6 June 1946, f. 21
