Includes lectures delivered by Thomson largely concerning education and intelligence testing. Most of these lectures have been delivered to mixed and public audiences, and are subsequently decipherable to those with no previous knowledge of the topics covered. Thomson has often underlined or circled words or phrases throughout in red pencil in order to act as an aide memoir, and several lectures have a handwritten covering sheet which notes Thomson's main points.

Un-numbered letter from Thomson regarding the possibility of Ledermann taking up a vacancy in Room 70, 22 Jan 1946
Thomson tells Ledermann how glad he would be if, on leaving the University of St Andrews, he would take Lawley's vacated post. He makes him aware of the disadvantages of the post, in particular that it relies on a fund and as such is not permanent, and that would be an unconventional route from which to apply for possible future mathematics lectureships. He also states Emmett's pleasure at the possibility of working with Ledermann.

Un-numbered letter from Thomson to Ledermann in which he asks him to take part in a lecture regarding factorial analysis, 12 Nov 1941
Thomson informs Ledermann he will be speaking about their work on Factorial Analysis at a meeting of the Royal Society [of Edinburgh]. He asks Ledermann if he will also take part, along with Lawley.
Thomson stresses that, although the lectures are to be delivered to scientists, the scientific audience come from varied backgrounds, and as such the lectures should be easily understood.
