60 THE TEINITY FOOT BEAGLES 



know him any notion of Currey's fascinating and elusive personality. 

 I know well that I cannot. He was affectionate, lovable, chivalrous, 

 a very delightful companion, and a very true friend. H. J. 



In the above Dr. Jackson has, as he says, drawn very largely on 

 a Memoir written by him for the Camhridge Beview. The following 

 letter, which accompanied it, is valuable as preserving several extra 

 touches : — 



Trinity College, Cambridge, 

 June 16, 1911. 



Dear Mk. Kempson — Here is the MS. And now I have some 

 requests to make. 



(1) Please acknowledge.^ 



(2) Please send me any criticisms and suggestions.- You will 

 understand that I want to do this little notice as well as I can. For 

 it will be the only record of a quietly remarkable man. The sad 

 thing is that, though there are men alive who knew Currey before 

 1865, such as H. Yates Thompson, Belper, and Cobham, the men 

 with whom he and I lived in College during the years 1865-70, 

 J. H. Swaiuson, A. J. Butler, W. P. Crawley, and J. W. Clark, are 

 dead ; so that a great deal of what I write appeals to no one.^ 



(3) When you print, please return my MS., and send me more 

 proofs than one. I want to have at any rate one spare proof which I 

 can show to my wife, who knew and appreciated " Pat." Also I am 

 fastidious : and, though I have done my best to get the MS. into final 

 form, I can never be sure that I shall not see something which can 

 be mended. 



I am very grateful to you for giving me an opportunity of saying 

 something about the friend who used to sign his letters, 

 " Yours, world without end, Pat." 



Yours very truly, 

 (Signed) Henry Jackson.
