| Description | Photocopy of letter, dated 13 December, in which Spurgin,as editor, thanks [Sir Leslie, 1869-1950; KC, MP, KCMG] for the obituary of Chamberlain that he wrote for Rugby school publication, the 'Meteor'. He adds that he was interested to note that Sir Leslie had 'won Bug's prizes both for the best Rugby collection and for the best all England Collection of Lepidoptera'. Spurgin addresses Sir Leslie as 'Judge', reflecting the fact that at the time he was Lord Justice of Appeal (1935-1948).
Sir Leslie and Chamberlain had shared time as pupils at Rugby. They became friends through membership of 'Bug', the Natural History Society (see NCLAdd/80). |
