Thanks for Theodor Aufrecht's Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge.

''Concours restreint pour l'exécution de certains travaux en Mésopotamie: 1. Arrêté Ministériel; 2. Convention; 3. Cahier des charges, avec métrés': i.e. ministerial decree, agreement, and specifications.

2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for a copy of his work on English University education: 'The whole argument is strong, or I would say convincing - greatly needed, moreover, at this particular time, where we are surrounded by such novelties in speculation'. For instance HH's 'old acquaintance Hamilton [William Hamilton] (the Ed. Review) who even as a boy of 18 was besotted by the same spirit of vague and verbose speculations, which still governs his understanding'. HH's and WW's mutual friend Hallam [Henry Hallam] has lost his eldest daughter.

Postmarked Englefield Green. - Reusing an un-sent postcard, with a request to telescope some lines in the 'Earth, Earth' chorus [of "The Bride of Dionysus", see 7/100]; crossed through. Would be very effective if the soldiers' part of the 'O tomb of death' chorus could be antiphonal to that of the captives.

35 St Leonard's Terrace, Chelsea, S.W.3. - Very much liked Bob's poem [in the "New Statesman" about Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson]; was staying with Barry [Alfred Barratt Brown?] when it appeared, who read it out. They are coming [to Surrey?] tomorrow until Sunday night; asks if Bob is coming over; they will suggest going to the Allens' for tea on Sunday.

Westroad Corner, Cambridge - Examines the concept of the fall of man in Jewish thought.

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Asks when it would suit the Trevelyans either to come to lunch, which would delight his aunt, or for him to visit them.

Stocks, Tring; addressed to Elizabeth at Westcott, Dorking. - Can only catch the 12.55 train which arrives at Dorking at 2.10; should be there by 3; Jan [Janet Ward] can catch the 10.30, but he has some jobs in town he must do.

He and Bessie 'very distressed' to hear of Julian's accident; hopes it is not too painful; offers advice on observing pain 'as a unusual kind of sensation' in order to hope with it. Hopes that Julian will be able to visit them at the Shiffolds soon; may be able to come to him in London on Wednesday, but will call him in any case.

Thanks Flora for sending her verses, which are 'not doggerel; they are much too delicate and graceful for that, and have too much feeling'. Must be a 'very real recompense, to be able to call up the "pattern and the vision"... and still enjoy seeing it' though she no long tries to 'draw it'. Sorry he missed seeing her at the 'Maxes' [sic: Maxses?], who seem to have made themselves 'comfortably at home in Tillies cottage'; it is 'very pleasant having them as neighbours'.

Zermatt. - Thanks Elizabeth for her note and telegram; Caroline had written to 'the poor lady'. Glad the concert went well, and hopes next week will be good; Dolmetsch must appreciate Elizabeth playing. Zermatt suits Sir George very well and he is taking 'quite long walks'; they are staying an extra day, going to Martigny on Wednesday, then driving over the Tête Noire to Chamonix. They will spend three days there before travelling home, arriving in London on 25 June. Sir George is going up to Wallington; Caroline asks if she could visit Elizabeth and Robert on the way to Welcombe, bringing Pantlin, who could stay in the village. Glad Elizabeth is comfortable at Gr[osvenor] C[rescent]; hears Mrs Cooper [the cook] is back so hopes Elizabeth will take all her meals at home; she should also use the carriage, as Mary and Janet do. There are quite a few people here, but it must be 'horrible' in season.

Athenaeum Club, Waterloo Place, London. - Glad to learn Brown has embraced [New Zealand] on Milnes's advice, though his society is much missed; hopes friendship will be sustained despite distance; disappointing support by his uncle has underlined moral strength of Brown's move; hopes to hear of his early marriage, as youthful marriages are 'so much the highest happiness possible to man' and the emptier spaces. [Charles Armitage] Brown's translation of Boiardo [Orlando Innamorato?] belongs to Brown's family, and may be claimed from Milnes's library at any time. Limited value of Colonial Office recommendations; 'the feeling is every day gaining ground here that it is most advantageous to a Colony to be as little governed as possible'; wonderful spectacle of the Great Exhibition, but poor showing of United States; offers to supply books. Disagrees about African Squadron; vessels were needed to protect British traders from piracy, and slave-trading is being kept to a minimum.

Earliest of the three surviving pre-Tractatus notebooks containing also some coded diary entries and at the front a note that on Wittgenstein’s death the volume should be sent to Leopoldine Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell: 'Nach meinem Tod zu senden an...'.
