7 Richmond Terrace, Whitehall, S.W. - Thanks Donovan for his letter of the 5th; Donovan's 'suspicion of the 2nd Law of Thermo-dynamics seems to be a growing one in several quarters; at least with regard to its universal if not its particular application'; mentions Bickerton's 'Theory of Impact' and Steinmetz's article 'The Death of Energy'.
Goes on to discuss a problem 'which, if you have not seen it, I owe to Mr. Pocock. It is based on the hypothesis of Psycho-neural Parallelism, or, as Huxley says, on the supposition that every Psychosis is correlated to a Neurosis'. Goes on to discuss memory and the 'quantity of neural energy' expended in learning.
