7 Camden Street, Camden Town - Sir William Hamilton has accused De Morgan of having taken his 'paper on logic from private communication with him'. As he had no communication with Hamilton till after his paper had been dispatched to Whewell, the date of the letter could become the turning point of a priority controversy.

The editor of Mind [G. F. Stout] has asked him to write an obituary notice of Henry Sidgwick for the January 1901 number of the journal. If the article were to be essentially an estimate of Henry's philosophical work, he would prefer to leave it to someone else, and would prefer to write of him on a personal level: due to his [Stephen's] absence from Cambridge 'from a very early period', he knows very little at first hand of Henry's work as Professor [of Moral Science] or his work in relation to the promotion of women's education. Asks Nora if she would care to assist him by referring him to others who could be of use to him in this matter. Intends to be in Cambridge the following Tuesday. Has also written to Nora's brother [Arthur Balfour], and to Arthur Sidgwick.

Buxton Forman from the Author” even though he bought them himself. He knew someone would send “the lying rag,” referring to a review of Munby’s Poems: Chiefly Lyric and Elegiac in The Daily News.

A letter from C. D. Broad to Hollond dated 22 May 1964 correcting Hollond's account of the interview for the television programme on Bertrand Russell, and expressing his desire to let Russell know that he had been interviewed but cut from the programme, accompanied by a copy letter from Hollond to Russell dated 26 May 1964 incorporating this information and enclosing a copy of a letter of protest at Broad's treatment to the B.B.C. television executives. Hollond's letter to Russell shares memories of Russell's visit to give the Lowell Lectures at Harvard University in the spring of 1914, mentioning the visit of Rupert Brooke, a dinner with Roscoe Pound, his reaction to a recital by Alfred Noyes, a visit with Mrs Fiske Warren, and a dinner party with Amy Lowell and Elizabeth Perkins; he also mentions speaking with Victor Purcell on the telephone after a visit with Russell, and remembering a conversation between T. C. Nicholas, and George Trevelyan about giving Russell a Title B Fellowship. With added notes at the bottom in Hollond's hand identifying people mentioned in the letter.

Cud Hill House, Upton-St-Leonards, Glos. - Thanks Robert for the 'splendid poem' [in this year's "From the Shiffolds"], which is 'noble' and 'the best telling' he knows of 'the great legend' [of Demeter and Persephone's abduction by Hades]. Sends a 'small book of poems' as his own gift, with best Christmas wishes to Robert and Bessie.

Paris. - Very flattered that Trevelyan has sent him his "Translations from Lucretius"; his eyes are no longer capable of reading it, but Madame de Rohan-Chabot and Madame de Maillé will read him the most difficult passages; wishes him the success which 'old Major von Knebel, friend of Goethe, had with his translation. [ Aimé Sanson] de Pongerville, who translated Lucretius into French was named keeper at the Bibliothèque Royale and member of the Académie Française; his daughter married [Auguste] Silvy, who 'played a sad role after the catastrophe of 1870' [the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War] as a minister when Tours was temporary seat of government. Trevelyan's address recalls the memory of [George Tomkyns Chesney's] "Battle of Dorking", which gave rise to so much talk in the last years of Napoleon III. Has seen their friend [Bernard] Berenson several times since Trevelyan's departure, who is one of the 'great trumpets of Trevelyan's glory'. The countess of Rohan-Chabot also came before her trip to Evian.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Very glad that Meg Booth is likely to spend some of the winter abroad with Elizabeth. Hopes Elizabeth will go to Gr[osvenor] Cr[escent]; Maria [Springett] will be able to arrange matters quite well. Sir George was much interested in Bob's letter; she herself likes 'the poem about the "official hat" best'. Going, if not snowed in, to Birmingham 'to open a [Joseph] Priestley Centenary Bazaar'; wanted to go to Welcombe for a short visit but it is too cold. The kitchen boiler at Wallington has 'cracked' so there is no kitchen fire.
