Reggio Calabria. - Thanks Bob for his letter. As in the past, is 'greatly troubled about the Finns' [regarding Russification and the reduction of autonomy in the Grand Duchy]. Saw [Julio?] Reuter around the time of the [Sir Frederick] Pollock-[John] Westlake circular; they agreed then it would be worse than useless for the '[Arthur] Ponsonby lot' to do more than publishing the Parliamentary [Russian] Committee's pamphlet ["The Crisis in Finland", 1909]. George feels that perhaps now 'we, or one of us, ought to do more'; will turn his attention to this as soon as he gets to town. Of course they 'cannot save the Finns', only Grey [the Foreign Secretary] could make any difference, but he will not. This is 'the worst thing since the 2nd partition of Poland'. Notes in a postscript that he is glad to hear such good news of Julian. Will reach London on the 5th.
