Nobel IOU [1933]

From Schroedinger, life and thought, by Walter More (Cambridge Univ Press, 1989):

Congratulations poured in from all over the world. Lindemann wrote immediately to Rintoul at I.C.I. "I was amazed to see this a.m. that Schroedinger has been awarded the Nobel Prize...He should be given the maximum salary possible...1000 pounds." Owen Richardson, who had received the prize five years previously, wrote from King's College, London, with practical advice about the procedures in Stockholm. He warned Erwin that they would put him up in an expensive suite at the most expensive hotel, the bill for which would be presented just as he was leaving. He would then have a cheque for the prize, but it would be difficult to cash. Richardson kindly offered to lend him some money for the trip if he was short of funds.
