Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Good to hear that Julian is settled in his own nursery again; sure he remembers it 'as he notices so much'. Very glad that nurse [Mrs Catt] is really better, and hopes all will go well now. She and Sir George are settling down at Welcombe; they are alone till George and Janet come on Wednesday. Sir George says Elizabeth 'must not mind about paying'. Sends love to Bob, and says she 'will read the Medici letters [edited by Janet Ross] with much interest'. She and Sir George did not like the Post impressionists [the exhibition organised by Roger Fry at the Grafton Galleries] which 'leave the impression of a bad, & rather nasty dream, though [she] can see how clever some of it is'.

Daily Record, Evening News, Sunday Mail, 67 Hope Street, Glasgow, C.2. - Did not introduce himself as they were surrounded; has paid tribute to Sir James and featured his speech [on being given the Freedom of Glasgow].

Woodside, Cove, Dumbartonshire - Has received official word that Baldwin Spencer died of angina pectoris; will let him know about his notes when she hears more, thanks Frazer for offering to place his letters from Baldwin at their disposal, wonders if there is a book in them.

4 Carlton Gardens, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Thanks him for the promised present of 'The Gorgon's Head'. Accompanied by the envelope.

British Legation, Berne - Had thought of calling on them, but thought Sir James' health would not allow this, hopes to meet her presently, and will go see the exhibition of Sir James' work.

Hyderabad Deccan. - Cannot say how grateful he is to Trevelyan for enabling Andrusha [Andrew Kalitinsky] to get through his school. India, and the Indians, feel very strange to him, and he misses Europe very much; there is so much careerism at Calcutta and politics does not 'seem to touch the lives of people', while elsewhere 'the Fascist methods of the Govt. of India have cast a gloom on things'. He decided to sacrifice his individual happiness to save his friends from 'never-ending worry' by taking up permanent work in India, but there seems nothing to be had. Lacks influential support: his father has retired and knew few people; his uncles want to make names for themselves. Wishes he might find something at the League [of Nations] but the 'axe' is in operation there too. Asks if [Clifford] Allen might mention him to some people at Geneva; sends congratulations to him [on his peerage] and is glad he will play a role in public life again. Hyderabad is 'romantic' and he likes it better than any other Indian town, but it is getting hot and he finds it difficult to breathe. Is trying to get an interview with Sir A. Hydar, 'the Dictator of the place' [Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII?] but has not yet succeeded. His book on Islamic art in Spain is doing well here; will give a few lectures on modern English poetry and European literature, for which he is being paid badly. Will go to Delhi and try there for the Leaue. Sends love to Bessie and Julian.

Thanks Nora for the reviews of Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, which he returns to her [not included]. Agrees that the people who did not know Henry or his work are the people who disapprove of the book. Adds that they could not accommodate everybody. Also returns [letters from] J.B. Mayor, 'O[scar] B[rowning]' and Lady Rayleigh [not included]. Lists the publications from which he has reviews of the book, and undertakes to send Nora any that she has not got. Has already given away five copies of the book, and has 'not quite finished yet'.

Endorsed by Ellis & Ellis. Note by Edward F. Jenner that it was sworn before him at the Principal Registry, Doctors Commons, on 28 Feb. 1874.

Thanks WW for his book ['Of the Plurality of Worlds: An Essay', 1854]: 'I have read it with deep feeling - and if I may use the liberty of saying so must profess to believe that it is a book which cannot fail greatly to modify generally received opinions, even if it should not lead to the adoption of a belief altogether differing from that which has prevailed in modern times'.

Asks her to forward his letters at once to the Marine College, Essex. Explains that they have been sent to Rugby, because he has 'a servant who thinks for himself...' States that he has been at his present address since the previous Wednesday. Thinks that he must give up the idea of going to Rugby. Explains that he has many visits to pay in July, and that, until his fever subsides he dreads railway travelling. Asks her to write and tell him about what she and the others are going to do in the holidays, and when she intends to leave Rugby. Promises that he shall try to come, 'at least for a night or two, before that.'
