St James' Place - appreciation of Blakesley's commemoration sermon and his letter on the Ecclesiastical Commission, Wordsworth has started for Italy

Entry on infectious mononucleosis

RJ hopes WW received his sheets [see RJ to WW, 1 March 1845]: 'I find no fault with any of your practical views about poor laws - it is your theory of moral duties as obligatory on states in the same manner as on individuals that I can only take with considerable modifications'. RJ left John Herschel a great deal calmer - 'but no one unacquainted with his peculiar temperament' could imagine how much James South agitates him. Herschel 'had not been able even to look over his fathers papers quietly - we went through them and the result was compleatly satisfactory. The discovery by the 40 feet of the 7th satellite in particular is narrated in the original observation book and all the steps from doubt to certainty to triumph committed to paper in a way which was exceedingly interesting even to me and I hope Herschel will some day or other publish them certainly not however to carry out a battle with such a trumpery opponent as South. The letter to the Times was gone before I arrived'.

Addressed to Trevelyan at The Shiffolds. - Thanks Trevelyan for his and Bessie's letters. Asks him to congratulate C. A., and hopes he may see something of him in the future. Has also had a letter from [Ackroyd?], who has had a 'burst of writing' after years' silence.

2, Cheyne Gardens, S.W. - Easy to give Will [Arnold Forster] the letter since he is staying here; harder to stop Bob 'apologising unnecessarily': George himself put 'too much heat into each one of [his] remarks', which provoked Bob's 'outburst'; sure he 'repaid [this] with interest'. Is going to hear Jan Hubrecht give a paper about the Netherlands tomorrow. Likes Geoffrey [Winthrop Young]'s poems ["Freedom"], which is 'natural'; thinks them 'stronger than his first lot ["Wind and Hill"].

8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Glad Elizabeth is enjoying her visit and has seen the [Gilbert?] Murrays; is 'so fond of Mary'. Letters to G[eorge] and J[anet] should be sent to the Wards, staying at Villa Bonaventura, Cadenabbia, who will forward them on. The latest news of them is from Florence; they were 'very happy'. Has had 'such a nice note' from Miss [Mary?] Fletcher, and has asked Imogen to play, since they are coming [to Caroline's party]. Arrangements for meeting; including the concert they are going to together. Encloses an invitation to the party [?] in case Robert would like to ask [Henry] Previté; they should say if there is anyone else they would like to come. She and Sir George liked Mr Howells, and found Mrs Atherton amusing. Very glad Elizabeth found Mrs F [Helen Fry?] better, but it 'does not seem satisfactory'.

Postmarked Egham. - Asks for permission for an alteration [to Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"]. Jokingly reads 'conk-music' instead of 'conch-music' and asks if the Nereids are singing through their noses.

22 St Ann's Terrace, London, N.W.8. - Thanks Trevelyan very much for sending her the Hymn to Demeter [his translation in this year's "From the Shiffolds"]. Is reading a lot of ancient Greek at the moment, in translation as she 'never got beyond the definite article', so it 'could not have come more appositely'. Thinks the poem 'most beautiful', and has read it several times, including aloud. Also enjoyed Trevelyan's "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Prometheus Bound": asks if he has translated any other plays. His are the only translations of the many she has tried which have given her 'any feeling of what the original must be like'. Is now starting his Lucretius, which she can 'follow, but not read properly' in Latin. Is very sorry she has had Trevelyan's translation of Montaigne for so long: had hoped Cape would agree to publish it, and 'did not want to hurry him as this is bad strategy'. He considered it carefully and would like to, but it is 'too long for him', but has given her some advice. Asks if she can keep it longer to pursue 'one or two other ideas'.

14 Pelham Crescent, S.W.7. - Logan [Pearsall-Smith] has just read her Robert's poem in the "New Statesman" ]: thought it a 'noble and beautiful tribute to a friend' [Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson]. Hopes they can meet soon; suggests lunch next time he is at St Leonard's Terrace.

Claims that he has thought a good deal about what she proposed about the Hortons [see ADD.MS.c/101/180-181]. Discusses the education of the son [Fred] and the possibility of his getting a scholarship to Winchester, and of going on the University education. Believes that if he is 'only ordinarily sharp', that he should probably not go to University, and that the Sidgwicks should help the family 'in some more pressing need.' Also discusses the little girl [Rose]'s future, and agrees with his mother in relation to not taking her away from home. Asks how she liked Paracelsus [by Browning], which he thinks 'has splendid stuff', despite being 'much too difficult and obscure'. Reports that Noel has published a volume of poems, which have been reviewed in the Pall Mall Gazette. Asks after Arthur. Reports that Martineau has written 'a fine pamphlet' for the Free Christian Union.

Pleased that Henry Bickersteth was a Smith's prizeman, John should have [ ] Yeates as a tutor if he thinks fit, death of Mrs Ayrton in childbirth, enquires if Robert Batty might get a scholarship: Kirkby Lonsdale

The correspondence chiefly relates to work towards two 1988 joint publications by Adams, Jackowski, J-P Haeberly and J P May 'A generalisation of the Segal conjecture' (Bibliog.no.78) and 'A generalisation of the Atiyah-Segal completion theorem'
