With carbon copy of reply from R. A. Butler,

Frisch was an editor and contributor.

75 Eaton Rise, Ealing, W. Has read Munby’s article on Alice de Chambrier with pleasure; is glad he was the Fielding as it will never be reprinted; includes verses he wrote in Lady Dorothy Nevill’s copy of Walpole.

6 Clifford Street. - Could probably have made more effective recommendations about the vacancy to Lord Sidney, but hardly knows Lord Hertford; no doubts as to Mr Westland Marston's suitability for the office; Foote's 'Minor' could be played. but not the 'Demi-Monde\

Gallichoille, by Lochgilphead - Is delighted that all has worked out for the lectureship; what he wanted twenty years ago was the conversion of the Gifford Lectureship into a Chair of Comparative Religion with Sir James as the first occupant.

Hotel & Pension Palumbo, Ravello, Golfo di Salerno. - Gives [Bernard] Berenson's address at Florence; he is being 'very pressing and says he will be alone', so Bob will start on 24 or 25 January and can stay till he goes on to the Hague, probably at the end of the month but this will depend on Bessie's news. Hopes her aunt is better. May be able to do some work at Florence. Sends a 'late-blossoming plum' with his kisses.

Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge - Congratulates the Frazers.

Leith Hill Place, Nr Dorking. - Found Bob's 'delightful present', the "New Parsifal", when they got home yesterday; thanks him and will 'value it very much as yet another proof' of Bob's friendship, which he knows is 'very precious' to her. Has as yet only looked at the 'very nice outside', but hopes to begin reading it today. Is 'very proud' to have it as a gift from Bob. Hopes he has had better news of his father; he must have had some 'very anxious days'. Also hopes Bessie and Julian are well again. Her mother is quite well now; they are 'rejoicing in the freshness and clearness of home - and birds singing'. Tells Bob he can come and stay any time he likes while Bessie is away; they can give him a 'quiet room to work in'. Asks if he has seen that the "Times Literary Supplement" is now to be sold separately: Evelyn Richmond says this is 'very important for her brother Bruce', since Lord Northcliffe apparently 'wants to get rid of the Supplement', returning book-reviewing to the main body of the paper, and 'does not believe there is a demand for it'. Would therefore be a good thing if many people who do not take the "Times" write in and subscribe for the "Supplement".

Hopes his father 'will go out' as then he will 'have some proper holidays'. Is getting on very well, as is G[eorgie]. There is to be a home match against Hartley Row next Wednesday. Is sending the [school news] paper, which is now printed 'instead of Cyclostyled', thinks this 'is a great improvement, though of course opinions may differ'. They have now begun studying Horace; thinks it is 'a good deal nicer that Caesar, or even than Virgil'. Hopes his father 'and Grandpapa are both quite well now'; comments on the 'fun we shall have in the hols'. Lawrence has given him the [birthday?] 'present of a very nice book'.

Daily Record, Evening News, Sunday Mail, 67 Hope Street, Glasgow, C.2. - Did not introduce himself as they were surrounded; cannot meet them on the dates she has specified; is sending specimen copies of the papers and a cheque.

Hyderabad DN. - Received Trevelyan's 'beautiful letter in verse' a few minutes ago: encourages him to put it in his book if he wishes. Was touched by it and feels nostalgia again for Europe. Seems he has no chances here, and would have preferred to stay in this 'beautiful, gentlemanly town'; fears he will not get a continuation of his grant. Will leave soon for Delhi, via Ajanta, Ellora, and Gwalior. Will be speaking at the university here about modern English poetry; the most recent writer they have heard of is Tennyson. Cannot remember if Trevelyan has been to Hyderabad; wants to see the Tombs of the Kings here. His heart has not been well enough for him to make many excursions, but he has been on a few and seen some good examples of 'late Muhamadan architecture'. Sends love to Trevelyan's family. Andrusha is 'already away to school'.

WW is pleased to tell JCH that he is mistaken over Miss Henslow: 'It is another Fanny the cousin of Prof. Henslow's daughter who writes to you. Our little Fanny whom you recollect is happily married to Dr Hooker, the son of Dr W. Hooker'.

2 Brook Street - HH is extremely glad WW is to publicly support John Couch Adams's claim to have discovered the new planet [Neptune] - as opposed to Urbain Jean Le Verrier: 'It is clear to me after reading the three papers produced at the astronomical society, that Adams would be precisely where Leverrier's now is, had the observations early in August ripened into actual discovery of the nature of the body, actually seen then by the guidance of Adam's calculations. Arago [Francois Arago] is moving heaven and earth (the phrase is not inappropriate here) to fix Leverrier's name upon it'. The planet's name should be taken from mythology.

In relation to Miss Brooke, declares that without being pretty, she is not ugly, and that her face 'shows feeling and intelligence when one looks close.' States however, that 'one has to penetrate a slight veil of dullness to see these qualities', and that 'there is not a particle of girlish attractiveness about her...' Asks Myers what he thinks of the proposal to tell Miss Clough that he [Myers] is a correspondent, and to arrange to go in some evening. In relation to the 'dear damsel', states that his experience of the correspondents [in the scheme for women's education] would not incline him to give a tragic interpretation to her silence. Refers to his own correspondents, who are all 'irregular and arbitrary in their ways, except one young strenuous well-trained governess in London, and the admirable and delightful Annie Thomas'. Announces that he is off to Rugby the following day, 'where the impending crisis [re headmaster Henry Hayman] still hovers. Invites Myers to breakfast on Sunday or Monday, 'and see one or two undergraduates.'

7 Camden Street, Camden Town - Thanks WW for the invitation but his lectures are 'imperative'. If his papers are to appear together he wants copies all at one time and does not care whether they are printed in the form of two papers or one. He is to publish a work on logic soon after the papers appear, and will think of Whewell's suggestion about taking a subject, but 'what subjects run very thickly in syllogisms...[and the] syllogistic examples in books of logic are literally nothing more than terms of one word or so substituted in the formal syllogism'. Instead of subjective and objective he will use ideal and objective, and explains how he will use it in terms of the mind. He writes this to show Whewell 'how far our language agrees'. Writers on Formal Logic are often confused - they 'speak ideally, and not objectively', and 'admit contradictory propositions as ideally enunciable'. He then presents some phraseology, 'seven definite relations of term and term: identical and contrary, sub-identical and super-identical, sub-contrary and super-contrary, and mixed. He concludes with a dialogue he had with his daughter as to the ideas of necessary and contingent.
