Butler, Harold Edgeworth

Letter from Professor Harold Butler, nephew of Louisa Galton (nee Butler), to Karl Pearson regarding the collection of letters to Francis Galton from eminent Victorians, which was assembled by Louisa and given as a gift to Professor Butler. He explains to Pearson that he would be unwilling to sell the collection as it was a gift and because he dislikes the practice of autograph-hunting. With this in mind, he makes a gift of all the Galton letters in his possession to Pearson. Some of these letters now form the contents of the letter book.
