Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Asks him to borrow two articles by [Morris W.] Croll from the [Cambridge] University Library. Encloses particulars of a vacancy. Has just met Passarin d’Entrèves, the new Professor of Italian Studies at Oxford. There seem to be a number of Catholic dons there concerned with that subject now. Asks who got the chair at Cambridge.

Dunford House. - He and his wife send a 'thousand thanks' for the 'delightful Christmas card' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: Trevelyan and Gilbert Murray are 'transubstantiating Menander', whom he only knew before through 'his dimidiated Terence'.

Thanks his mother for her letter. Thinks Georgie has nearly recovered from his cold. Has received a letter from 'Grandpapa Philips', and will write to him today. There was meant to have been a [cricket] match with Bracknell last Thursday but it rained so they did not come; it also rained on Friday, so the match will now be next Monday. Robert is in the eleven, at square leg. Has not got a cover for his bat, but can 'easily' get one by sending the measurements. Does not think Georgie wants any paper, as Robert 'can rule the un-ruled paper' for him; Robert would like a few stamps, as he has not got many. Hopes 'Papa is nearly well, and will be able to come'.

Typed copy. Union Club, Alexandria. Has met Winstanley who is working for the Red Cross, relief in the Peninsula at the change of command.

WW cannot answer JCH's last letter in any distinct manner: 'and therefore we will, if you please, see what is to be said about them when I come to you'. JCH need not fear of WW coming forward as a candidate [Alfred Ollivant resigning his chair as Regius Professor of Divinity to become Bishop of Llandaff]: 'there will be no difficulty, if you get about it soon, in your taking the degree of B.D. in time: - the only degree which is requisite'. WW does not know whether JCH could retain his present rectory with the professorship.

Concerns Of the Plurality of Worlds.

copy of poem by Ezra Pound which reminds John Cornford of EPS's book

Acknowledges receipt of 'Vol II [of George Eliot's Life as related in her Letters and Journals]' and Sidgwick's 'kind note', which he received the previous night. Praises Sidgwick's comments on the letters, and refers to their usefulness to him in their editing and arrangement. Informs him that it will be 'some days' before he sends volume III.

States that what Myers has told him 'is certainly a relief', and claims that he shall now find it easier to tell those who have to be told, 'without saying anything about his insanity.' Refers to a séance, at which he, Nora, [Henry] Slade and Lankester were present, and which is the subject of some controversy. Thinks that Myers had better go, 'when Miss B[ibby]'s sittings are over, if nothing else turns up.' States that if Myers comes across anything good, he [Henry] will instantly come to town and go with him. Undertakes to send back Miss B[ibby]'s note the following day. Sends his regards to Myers' mother.

Fifth Mediterranean Congress of Chemotherapy, 26 October–1 November 1986, Cairo, Egypt

7 Camden Street and Town - Thanks him for pointing out the misprints. 'Nineteenth century is a bad misprint - and I ought to have detected it by the absence of the words "march of intellect" in the immediate neighbourhood'.

Addressed to Mr Travis, York, brother of Mr Travis, the College Chaplain, 'now confined as being deranged', regarding the latter's position as Chaplain.

Trinity College - RJ has not sent WW any of his '[cravets?] and speculations' on induction. WW has been 'working out the part about foreign trade which makes very nice equations and I think I see a little more light'. He will be 'hugely wroth' if Lockhart [John G. Lockhart] does not put his review of RJ in the same edition of the Quarterly Journal as his one on Herschel ['Modern Science: Inductive Philosophy', Quarterly Review 45, 1831].

Reports that he has been very busy. Remarks on 'Edward's boy [a student from Edward Benson's school, Wellington College?]' having been elected for a minor scholarship at Trinity College, and that he had written to Bradley to tell him of the faults of a boy of his who had been elected minor scholar. Observes that Bradley and Temple 'continue banging affectionately at each other in the Times.' Looks forward to vacation, but is sure that hard work is good for him on the whole. Reports that the weather is splendid. Wonders whether their 'usual concourse of May visitors will go on increasing' as it has in the previous few years. Predicts that the typical Cambridge man 'will be an antiquarian personage who knows about the history of the colleges and is devoted to "Culture des ruines"as the French pamphleteer said.' Refers to his friend Mozley having produced his article on Modern Poets in the Quarterly Review, and fears that it is dull. Believes that he ranks Clough high, and is glad 'as it will astonish the old-fashioned readers of the Quarterly. They will regard the editor as a literary Disraeli marching with his age'. States that he enquired about Christ's Hospital for 'young [Fred] Horton', but found that he was much too old.

Appreciation of Davenport's paper `Study and research in mathematics' (Bibliog. 85).

Thanks WW for his book [probably 'Notes on the Oxford University Bill in Reference to the Colleges at Cambridge', 1854]: 'I find it exceedingly interesting'. Does WW 'recollect a remarkable passage in Shakespere (Hamlet act 1. Sc: 4) in which he points to the division of moral attributes into inborn and circumstantial'.

Thanks her for the report of Eusapia Paladino's performances. Declares that it is 'deeply interesting', and claims that he 'cannot conceive where a flaw in the evidence is to be discerned.' Asks if 'E.P.' would rebel at the proposal of putting handcuffs on her wrists and ankles'.
