Hotel Lutetia, Paris. Dated 13th September 1923 - Never received his letter with a proof of the preface to the third volume; is glad to hear that Norman is safe [in Japan?]; is happy to hear of the Canonry of Rochester, a proper position for a researcher, would be happy to serve as a reference but reminds him his name might not be an advantage in some quarters, does not know Lord Cave's theological or ecclesiastical opinions and position.

Ben Wyvis Hotel, Strathpeffer Spa, N.B. Dated 8 June 1915 - Returns the proofs of the preface and illustrations [of 'The Northern Bantu']; is glad to have good news of Norman [Roscoe].
