My dear Father,

I hear from Oxford that the next degree day is Feb. 13th I shall try and go up on that day as I hear WaIter Flower an old friend of mine is going up then for the same purpose. As to money the state of the case is this.

The question of Compounding for non-resident fees - is the most important -


Is it wise to pay 32.10.0. down instead of paying so much per annum - This statement is doubtful! (unless one lives to a good old age it is a loss). The Annual payment for a non resident member is about 5.10.0 I believe judging from what my arrears are since I left Oxford- If so the Composition is cheaper as 32.10.0 would at that rate be worked out in 6 years. Of course I should like to keep my name on the books - but the priveleges one gets by doing so are hardly worth the money one has to pay- What do you think? Please write me a line today-
If I compound the total payment will be£sd

Other payments15.10.6

£48. 0.6



It seems and not only
seems but is a great deal.

With very best love and hoping you are better believe me I remain

Yr very affect. son

Frederic R. Evans.

I hope not to want the whole of my present allowance this year so that I can duck some of that in the College coffers.
