Scope and content
Relates the problems he has had with a female medium, who was 'fatigued and unwell, anxious to rest on Sunday'. Discusses the fact that there had been no formal exception of [her conducting séances] on Sundays in the contract, and refers to her manager, and other problems relating to her services. Tells Myers to show the letter to Gurney. Announces that he goes to London again on Monday, then probably to Cambridge, when he shall have to see Clay about his book. Confesses to feeling bad about Macmillan having taken the book on half-profits. States that Macmillan is going to send the proof sheets to John Morley. Reports that he met Mrs Montagu Cookson [Blanche, wife of Montagu Cookson - later Crackanthorpe?] at dinner at his cousin's, 'and liked her - tho' not so well as Mrs F. H'.
