Refers to Gandhi’s speech at Trichinopoly and his article in Young India, in which he stated that, as non-co-operation is legally sedition under the Penal Code, he objected to the suggestion in Sir George Lloyd’s communiqué that tampering with the loyalty of the sepoy and sedition were fresh crimes committed by the Ali brothers, and went on to encourage Congress and Khilafat workers to reiterate the Ali brothers’ formula and to spread disaffection openly till arrested. They [the Government of India] cannot arrest ‘small fry’ and leave Gandhi free; therefore the speech and article are being examined by lawyers, and Reading has canvassed Local Governments for their opinions as to the effect of prosecuting him. His own impression is that, though Gandhi has recently lost some ground, he remains popular with the masses, and that his arrest would lead to violence. Points out that Gandhi’s article is intended to bridge the gap between Hindu and Moslem.

India Office, Whitehall, S.W.1.—Desires the Prime Minister’s approval before sending the enclosed telegram [A3/10/2].

(Carbon copy.)

Has been advised that, in his instructions to the Commissioner of the Northern Division in connection with the situation in Surat, Lloyd has stated that, ‘if an announcement of civil disobedience is accompanied by incitements to violence or followed by acts of violence, immediate report should be made with a view to prosecution of principal offenders’. Asks why he has asked for a report before prosecuting.

Expresses disapproval of the Viceroy’s decision to postpone Gandhi’s arrest.

War Office, Whitehall, S.W.—The Secretary of State wants the two telegrams marked A and B [A3/46/6 and A3/46/10] circulated to the Cabinet and the King.

24 Queen Anne’s Gate, S.W.— Thanks him for his letter explaining the position. He does not think the differentiation between cotton Customs and Excise Duties in India could ever be prevented, and as it has been done it does not matter. But he does not regard Interest and Sinking Fund of £100 million a year as a sufficient burden for India with her almost insignificant unproductive debt, and does not think India entitled to special consideration when compared with the burdens laid on other parts of the Empire. Points out that the increased pay of the Indian Army has been practically paid for by allowances for services abroad. Those who make cotton goods in India must, as a result of the differentiation, be allowed to increase the price of their goods. If the State protects any industry it ought to share in the profits, but the question with regard to cotton manufacture in India is very difficult. He wishes that it had been possible to make a policy for the whole Empire before dealing with it in India.

Russie, Romodan, gouvt de Poltava,
le 14 juin 1904.

Monsieur et trés honoré confrère,

Je commence par Vous demander pardon pour le hardiesse que je prends en m’adressant à Vous sans avoir eu l’honneur de Vous être recommandé; je me fais une illusion d’espérer que le motif de ma lettre pourra me servir d’excuse auprés de Vous, et je tâche à vaincre mon indécision.

Le premier volume de Votre belle édition des oeuvres de Nashe me procure ce motif: il me suggère l’idée qu’il ne Vous sera pas indifférent à savoir que cet auteur ne reste pas privé d’interêt dans ce pays et que j’ai eu la bonne chance de présenter à nos lecteurs un article sur se signification littéraire, inserré dans la revue “La Pensée Russe” (Rousskaia Mysl, {1} 901, N 5) et faisant partie d’une série d’études intitulées “L’origine du roman moderne.” Le tirage à part de deux premières chapitres de cette série suivent ma lettre.

M. le Professeur Morfill a lu ces études et il pourra Vous en donner des renseignements; les “foot-notes” Vous en diront le reste.
En comptant sur Votre bienveillance je Vous prie bien, Monsieur, de me permettre à Vous souhaiter le meilleur succés de Votre excellente édition et de Vous présenter l’expression de mon profond respect

Wladimir Lesserich

Translation

Dear Sir and most respected colleague,

I begin by asking your pardon for the liberty I take in addressing you without having had the honour of being recommended to you; but I flatter myself with the hope that my motive for writing will serve as an excuse, and have therefore tried to overcome my hesitation.

I derive my motive from the first volume of your fine edition of the Works of Nashe: it suggested to me the idea that you might be interested to know that this author does not remain without interest in this country, and that I have had the good fortune to present to our readers an article on his literary significance, inserted in the journal La Pensée Russe (Rousskaia Mysl, 901, No. 5) as part of a series of studies entitled ‘The Origin of the Modern Novel’. An offprint of the two first chapters of this series will follow my letter.

Professor Morfill has read these studies and he will be able to give you details of them; the footnotes will tell you the rest.

Relying on your kindness, I beg you, sir, to allow me to wish you every success in your excellent edition and to assure you of my deepest respect,

Wladimir Lesserich

Sends a copy of the Germano-Swedish Treaty (not present), and refers to the other type of treaty as exemplified by the one concluded between Switzerland and Italy.

Transcript of notes by B. Young about Agnata, and her own beliefs written shortly before her death.

With flysheets and drafts of flysheets accompanied by three letters from Ramsay MacDonald, and a draft of another from J. R. M. Butler to MacDonald.

Typescript termly lists of Butler's tutees on Side D carrying brief notes in Butler's hand recording exeats and absences as well as occasional other notes as to permission granted, and addresses while travelling. There are lists for Michaelmas, Lent, and Easter terms for each academic year from 1929 to 1938, accompanied by lists of men admitted on Side D for Michaelmas 1934. The list for Michaelmas term 1936 was torn up by Butler apparently in error, as the pieces were found in one of his envelopes. A final list for Michaelmas 1938 is present, and a list of men admitted to Side D for 1939, as are lists of freshmen for 1938 and 1939, and a list of examination results at Trinity published in August 1938. The final lists do not carry notes by Butler.
