Dear Semple,

I should be glad to know what your commentators say about umbra {1} smaragdi Sid. carm. 11. 24.

Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.

The envelope, which bears a 1½d. stamp, was postmarked at Cambridge at 10.45 p.m. on 3 Mar.

{1} The word appears at first sight to read ‘unibra’, but the dot is almost certainly a fleck of dirt embedded in the paper.

Part of Papers of Huia Onslow

Sent to 'Mr Hina [sic] Onslow, Leckhampton House, Cambridge, England'. - Onslow's letter to C. C. Hurst has been referred to the President 'for consideration and reply'. Two pamphlets will be sent to him, one explaining the 'plan, scope and development of the Institution to date' and the other with a list of its publications. As Onslow will see, the list of publications is extensive, and it would be 'improper as well as impracticable' to send a complete set to any one person. The 'only fit recipients of them are the greater libraries of the world' and they are distributed free only to such libraries, of which the University Library and that of the Cambridge Philosophical Society are two. Onslow should therefore have access to them.

Publications are also offered for sale at normal prices since some institutions like the British Museum wish to purchase them. The Institution 'finds itself obliged to decline the system of exchanges we have inherited' as this would 'speedily defeat the primary purpose of the Institution and convert it into a gift-book enterprise'.
