Scope and content
Declares that he delayed writing to Patterson until he was well in Germany, in order to convince his 'sceptical mind' that he was really going to Pest. Plans to go to Berlin the following day, and stay there a week, and on Friday morning to go to Prague, where he intends to look up a philosopher [Ewald Hering?]. Plans to go to Vienna on the Saturday, and on the Monday to Pest, where he will stay until 9 or 11 April. After that he intends to go to Vienna, Munich and Freiburg, returning to Cambridge 23 April. Urges Patterson to write if it is not convenient to receive Sidgwick on the days suggested. Reports that 'miserable Hales' has told him nothing about Ossian.
