Since Miss Russell was kind enough to send him Aubrey [Waterfield]'s postcard recently, sends her one he has received himself from Lina; the Waterfields hope they will soon be able to get a boat to bring them to Britain so it is probably not much use writing to them; certainly they do not seem to have received the postcard Robert wrote. Hopes that the Waterfields' 'troubles are over' and that they will soon see them. Hopes she has been having a 'quieter time lately', as he and Bessie have.

Athenaeum, Liverpool - Is preparing a school register and asks if he can identify a boy named Groves who attended Holly Lea preparatory school in Liverpool.

130 East 40th St. New York - Is a fan, sends a copy of her 'Ancient Pagan Symbols'.

Asks if he may call Trevelyan 'Bob'; thanks him for all his kindnesses. Has received [Alberto] Moravia's book and the letters of introduction; asks him to thank [Bernard] Berenson for obtaining these; is particularly grateful for the one for the director of the Institute de Osma. Will probably leave for Spain around 3 Sept; Madame Germanova will be here when Trevelyan comes. So grateful for his offer to lend the money; seems unlikely that there will be more from India, and Suhrawardy has recently been disappointed in his hope of being appointed guardian of the Hyderabad state scholars. It was thought the India Office would not like the appointment of an Indian, and an Englishman has been sent out. Must find something in England. The sporadic money he has been receiving from his father will probably stop when he retires at the end of the year. Perhaps he might work at the High Commissioner's office or the India Offie. Will try in India, for which he leaves on 14 November; hopes to return on the Italian boat and will then see Berenson. Madame Germanova will go with Trevelyan to a French notaire to fix the mortgage; gives some details of the proposed arrangements for repayment.

c/o Professor Utrecht [sic: Ambrosius Hubrecht], 2 Janskerkhof, Utrecht, Holland. - Has received six copies of his "Polyphemus" and hopes J. [Johnson] has sent Fry the same number. Fry's illustrations look very well, though expects he will not be happy with the printing; has found a mistake in the "Ode to Dionysus". Is sending a copy to [Robert] Bridges but not [George] Meredith. Asks Fry to let him know how it sells. Going to spend some time with B.B. [Bernard Berenson] on their way; his wife says he is 'rather out of sorts'. May stop at Verona on the way.

69 Gower Street - Has sketched out a proof 'of the composition of forces which seems to separate the mathematical from the mechanical part better than Poisson's, and to shew the mathematical bearing of one or two steps much better'. If [D. F.] Gregory approves of it, ADM would like WW to communicate it to the Cambridge Philosophical Society Journal. Has been looking at [Jacob] Hermann's Phoronomia and would like to learn more about Hermann.

Concerning the revised statutes of the College.

Written from Dusseldorf.

If JCH feels strong enough over the proposed changes of the examinations he can stay as long as he likes with WW at the time of the vote: 'It would be better that the graces should be carried by votes of non-residents than that they should be lost'. WW encloses a pamphlet by Philpott [Henry Philpott] which he hopes will draw opinions in their favour: 'I shall be much grieved if the graces do not pass, at least for the most part'.

Tells him that he may tell anyone he wishes to tell, as he supposes the information 'will come quite out in a day or two.' Tells him to count on him 'for the 4th', and presumes that he has made arrangements at Newcastle. States that Dakyns, with whom he is staying, 'would like to come to about half a dozen seances', and asks if he shall be let in. Declares that he is a sympathetic person, and would be good.
