        Note de l'archiviste

        This is a collection of letters between Balfour and Elwes that was presumably boxed separately from the Balfour collection both because of its size and because it enabled it to be easier to find at the time. It's now thought that it should be returned and catalogued as part of the Balfour correspondence collection (GB 235 RBG/1/IBB/1/1/E) and this is a temporary catalogue record to allow the collection to be findable before then.
