Thanks Sidgwick for sending him a copy of the new edition of his work [The Principles of Political Economy], which he predicts will be of much value to him. Declares that he is at present engaged in work on the [ ] [ ] Commission. Reports that he has just been looking at Sidgwick's comments on Bimetallism, with which he agrees, but disagrees with Sidgwick's contention that a tabular standard 'would supercede the [ ] for bimetallism.'

Longmans Green & Co Limited - In reply to hers, they are sending [J. D.?] Krige's book for Sir James; only two partners remain from the last generation of the family and they no longer work with them, only two members of staff remember those great days.

17 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. - Has been expecting to hear from The Trevelyans that they are 'greatly ashamed and very sorry for the mischief' made and 'influence exerted' on a 'defenceless' man [Donald Tovey]; must 'express contrition' and 'promise amendment'. Will not 'let the matter rest as it is' though she is prepared to 'resume friendly relations' once they say this, even if she cannot trust them. The 'tragedy here deepens daily [the situation with Tovey's wife Grettie]' and she holds them 'largely responsible for it'; only 'by God's mercy that Donald is not utterly consumed'. Will come south with him when he plays at Northlands this week with Guilhermina Suggia.

c/o A. Waterfield, La Fortezza, Aulla, Lunigiana. - He and Bessie are sorry to hear of his father's accident [see 11/134, 12/90], and hope the rheumatism will have gone by the 28th so that his parents may start back then as planned, or soon after. Hears from the Waterfields that his parents' hotel is a good one, so hopes they are comfortable.

Is very sorry that Charles 'has not got a place [in Campbell-Bannerman's government]'; had expected he would, and hopes 'his chance may yet come' soon. Is sure he will 'take his disappointment in the best spirit'; he 'cannot have long to wait' if he continues to do as well as he has so far as a private member. Generally, 'it seems a very good Government'; glad that even the Tories seem to respect Campbell-Bannerman now.

Has just bought Jebb's edition of Bacchylides, an 'excellent book'. Jebb 'made a beautiful speech at the [Apostles'?] dinner' a few years ago which made Robert 'like him very much'.

61, Ripon St., Cal[cutta]. - Is at Santiniketan, Tagore's university, for a temporary job; he may be able to come to Europe on an Italian liner on the 18 August, arriving in Venice on the 29, and asks where Trevelyan will be then. Thinks Trevelyan's latest collection of poems is his best so far.
