References in Rashdall's letters to his mother about work on the Bampton Lectures.
[Rashdall wrote very regularly to his mother throughout his life. Usually they are concerned with personal, often trivial, matters. Just ocassionally, as in these extracts, he refers to the work in which he is engaged.]

18 Longwall, Oxford,
May 12. 1914.

My dear Mother,
   You will no doubt see it in the papers tomorrow but I should like you to hear first from me that I have been elected to the Bampton Lectureship. . .

These, and many other letters
to his mother, are located
in the Rashdall archive
at New College.

18 Longwall, Oxford,
May 17. 1914.

My dear Mother,
   . . . I have had some half dozen publishers asking for my Bamptons. I think I shall give them to Longmans.

18 Longwall, Oxford,
Feb. 5. 1915.

My dear Mother,
   . . . . My first Bampton is on Sunday. I have spent infinite labour on it, especially on boiling it down to the required length, and then it will have to be expanded again for the press.
