Elements helping the datation:

  • the direction: it's the same than those in a letter to Taylor x in 1944

“your paper”

“the book”

  • “The proofs of the book have arrived”, ”Macmillans“: which book can P. speaks about?

A Master

  • “Do you not think that I should see the Master about it?”: who can be this “Master”? A.D. Lindsay, the master of Bailliol [See Dale 2016, 122]? Was he “very closely connected with Nuffield College”? Is it the same “master” that Polanyi wrote the July 15th, 1944? --Santiago Pinault (talk) 00:45, 21 September 2017 (BST)
