Since her signature 'cannot reach England in time to be sent in with the others', hopes she may send a few lines separately to say how, like everyone else who knew Henry, she feels 'what a real loss to all his death has been.' Can never forget that it was owing to his generosity that she originally came to Newnham College, and wishes that during the time she was there she could have been more capable of appreciating him. His influence on her will never be forgotten. Hopes to be back in England the following March, and suggests that she might have a chance of seeing Nora.

Thurlby Hall, Newark - George Green is very grateful to WW for all the 'presswork' he carried out for GG's maiden memoir.

EB Thanks WW for his pamphlet which he read twice 'and consider the most decisive thing of the kind, that I ever met with - We want the whole of Logic thoroughly sifted in the same manner'. EB commends WW's warnings about premature definitions - the best illustration is found in Botany where Linnaeus refused to define his natural families prematurely. Even in mathematics definition follows knowledge.
