Image, John Maxwell (1842-1919), classicist8, Grange Gardens, Cambridge. - Thanks Winstanley for taking an initial look at the letters [from her late husband to W. F. Smith]. Mr [Hugh McLeod?] Innes has 'just approved Vol. i in its present form'. Would like Winstanley to read through again and if he has no corrections to pass the typescript to the Master [G. M. Trevelyan] to convey to the Council. Would like to produce a 'more perfect edition' of the letters if 'life should again prove amenable'.
Explains that 'Gaps in and at the end of sentences denote Greek passages which await the pen of a Classic. Paragraphs omitted are not indicated since my husband generally disposed of a subject in a paragraph - and the omissions do not disturb the rhythm. But words and passages omitted, as also one or two arresting observations shorn of their context which I retained, are duly indicated'.
