Finding Aid to the H. Paul Grice Papers

From: http://www.oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=kt296nd9qt;style=oac4;view=dsc

Title of document: "Finding Aid to the H. Paul Grice Papers, 1947-1989, bulk 1960-1989". 'bulk' is a term in Boyle's theory that Locke used. "Collection Number: BANC MSS 90/135". Actually Chapman cites this as 135c, so be careful. 90 means that the things were deposited in 1990 by the trustees.

Series 1. Correspondence (1947-1988). Carton 1 (folders 1-15). Arranged alphabetically according to last name; followed by general correspondence. Includes correspondence with Grice's student and colleague Judith Baker, and colleagues George Bealer, R. O. Warner, and R. Wyatt addressing various forms of his research on philosophy.

Henceforward, I-1 indicates carton and folder.
