West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Thanks for the praise of the book ["A Passage To India"]; is happier than he was about the novel. Wonders if it might be a 'topical success': has sent a copy to Justice [Henry] McCardie [the judge of the O'Dwyer case] but doesn't expect a response. The picture of the 'Anglo-Indian' in the novel is not at all exaggerated: she should ask her husband or Goldie [Dickinson]. Asks her to read the correspondence he encloses out to Bob, a letter from Mrs Evans [George Eliot?] and two copy letters from his grandfather [presumably found while sorting his aunt's papers].

Trinity Lodge, Cambridge - Is pleased there was a second letter so closely following the first, which relieved the anxiety the first one raised; is sorry to hear of their troubles [Frazer's eye operations]; Sir Henry McCardie is still with them, but the work at the Courts is almost over; her husband asks her to say Sir James may give his lectures at times fixed for his convenience.
