Scope and content

Thanks Myers for his 'kind words about [his] proposed arrangements with the University', and is glad that it impresses him as the right sort of thing to do. In relation to [Thurston], states that one view is that they had better offer him no suggestion at present, and agrees with Myers that 'his "multitudinism" ' may be of real use to them. Suggests, however, that 'the best time to intervene will be when he thinks he has found a [sensitive] who can be [operated] upon in solitude.' Announces that they [he and Nora] return to Cambridge on the following Monday, for a fortnight.
