Rappresentanza Italiana, 14, Three Kings Yard, Davies Street, London, W1. - The cancelled W.F.U.N.A. meeting has been re-organised for 16 Dec, which is when he was due to come to the Shiffolds; asks if he could come instead on 18 Dec and stay a couple of days. Hopes all went well with the doctor.
14, Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris 16e. - Saw Julian yesterday, and was glad to hear that Bob had recovered; Julian did not come last week in case Suhrawardy had not recovered from his pneumonia, during which his temperature went up to over 107 which his doctor says 'only happens to savages'. He is now much better. Has seen a lot of his friends the Singhs, who have now gone to London. His father has written to say he will be in Europe in September, and he has also be offered a Readership at the Calcutta University, to give six lectures on 'Mussulman Art' over the winter, so he has decided to go to India with his father in November. The Singhs are taking on the flat in Pembridge Crescent at which Trevelyan came to see Suhrawardy at the end of this month. Might be in London at the beginning of June and would love to come and see the Trevelyans if so. Julian mentioned that Mrs Trevelyan had had to give up her trip to Holland because of illness; hopes it was nothing serious. Madame G[ermanova] sends her love; excuses herself for not writing, but they have no maid so she is doing a lot of housework. Her husband [Aleksandre Kalitinsky] is much better. Rex [the dog] loves the warm weather. Asks him to tell Mrs Trevelyan that most of his vegetable were eaten by hares.

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. Another memoir is ready - could WW say whether it would be favourably received? 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.
Is glad she is recovering from influenza. Wishes to arrange an appointment to discuss his forthcoming trip to India.
