Photocopy of autograph note from H.F. Baker

Has examined the three papers submitted by MHAN in support of his Fellowship application. Is not able to give a definitive judgement on the papers as he is not an expert in the field, but, though he regrets 'that abstract logic has such an attraction for the writer', highly commends the papers as being by somebody who is a 'man of worldwide rank'. Recommends MHAN for a Fellowship.
