Reference, written by S. A. Donaldson [Master of Magdalene College], confirming the dates George Mallory was at Magdalene, his exam results, his prize winning essay on James Boswell and the crews successes under his reign as Boat Club Captain. He describes Mallory by saying He has always borne the highest character, and I am glad to be able to recommend him warmly for any post of responsibility or trust educational or otherwise.

The main works discussed in these letters are: the alterations to Mallory Court and Mallory Cottages, the JCR Reading Room, the Chapel, Old Lodge alterations post Benson, the Library extension (1927) and the Kitchens.

In MCAD/5/RED/1/8-9 there are copies of letters from Talbot Peel (Bursar) to T.C. Wyatt (Steward of Christ's), showing how well Redfern was regarded by the College eg:

"He has been architect to the College for 20 years, and is a most attractive person to deal with, as well as one who merges himself entirely in the building.... You will know that he did the Mallory Court Building for us, working this up from a very odd brewery on the site, but his great forte is altering old buildings." (28 Jan 1936)
