Abstract:
Recently,
I
uncovered
in
my
office
a
letter
from
Tutte
written
in
Newmarket,
England,
dated
July
7,
1996.
The
letter
describes
the
events
of
the
prior
several
weeks,
including
his
first
visit
to
Bletchley
Park
since
the
end
of
World
War
II.
I
take
this
letter
to
be
a
Tutte
self-portrait,
a
reference
point
from
which
to
view
his
life
and
career.
Included
are
some
pictures
from
my
recent
trip
to
Newmarket
for
the
unveiling
of
the
memorial
in
his
honour.
