Scope and content
Writes in relation to a proposal, addressed to Sidgwick, that he, [Browne], act as interpreter/translator of Oriental languages for the government. States that he would agree to carry out the work 'as far as Persian is concerned', considering himself not adequate to the task in relation to Arabic and Turkish. Puts down certain conditions to be agreed to for his undertaking of the work, including that it not interfere unduly with his university commitments, and that he may be permitted to select from amongst his students one person to assist him in the work. Discusses his strong feelings on the subject of Oriental Studies, and the attitude of the government in relation to it.
