Summary:Section F, Correspondence, is a significant record of Fröhlich's scientific connexions, especially in the last two decades of his life. There is a substantial alphabetical sequence of scientific correspondence covering the period 1952-1990, though few of the individual correspondents are represented by more than a handful of letters. Miscellaneous sequences of correspondence include 'an original deposit' of papers made by Fröhlich to Liverpool University in 1973, the contents of a bulky folder inscribed 'Miscellaneous', 1963-1990, and the contents of a folder inscribed 'Bio Correspondence', 1973-1986. The 'original deposit' of papers comprised just three letters including a characteristic letter from R.P. Feynman, September 1954, which Fröhlich described as laying 'the foundation to what is now a very wide line of research'. There is also a group of references and recommendations, 1974-1990.
