Scope and content
3 Belford Park, Edinburgh. Dated 30 March, 1913 - [Adam] Sedgwick's death was a shock; his close friend [George] Chrystal died over a year ago; is very well, but university work is a strain, with a great amount of work; has only read a little of his book ['The Belief in Immortality'], is not in sympathy with his general ideas of progress; has been reading Dante and the Old Testament in Italian, 'an extraordinary drama'; liked [Sir James?] Donaldson at St Andrews, but not years before in Edinburgh; their old Principal is a wonderful man; finds Mrs [Emily] Hodgson as fit as when he first knew her.
