E1-E8 University of Manchester
E9-E53 University of Cambridge. The bulk of this material is manuscript lecture notes, sometimes paginated in sequences though often with unnumbered pages intercalated. It appears from the variety of inks, paper sizes etc that many lecture notes were reused over years.

The bulk of this material dates from the 1980s and 1990s. The content is enormously diverse. Thank you letters, sometimes charmingly illustrated, from young children, may be found next to reminiscences from aged contemporaries, chatty letters from former pupils next to detailed scientific correspondence.

It dates from the 1990s although a large proportion of the correspondence is undated. Many of the correspondents are identified by first name only and not all appear to have been correctly filed. They include family members, although Jeffreys also seems to have often been accorded the title 'Aunt' by children of friends and former students. Retained in original order.
