Newnham College, Cambridge - Is sending the two reprints [not present], Mr Bosanquet's and her own; admires [F. M.] Cornford's grasp of mythology and ritual; asks if there is a parallel to the cannibal feast of Tantalus in initiation rites; thinks his lecture clears up the dispute between Cook and Cornford and Ridgeway; discusses mythical ancestors vs Ridgeway's insistence on historical persons; hopes he is coming to Ridgeway's lecture on Monday at which 'he proposes to demolish both Mr Cornford & me!'.

Re memorial to Thomas Hood.

Balgonie, Fifeshire. - £100 granted to David Booth came from Queen’s Bounty Fund; he has never received a pension; encloses his memorial; he lived in London until December last, about which time her son-in-law petitioned Sir Robert Peel for continuation of existing payment which he believed to be £50; money now exhausted; her husband ill and in danger of starving; will furnish any other details required by Milnes. Enclosed: printed memorial describing work of David Booth, seeking assistance with living expenses [1 f.].

Hadleigh, Suffolk. - Sent tale two years ago in the vain hope of 'benefitting pecuniarily'; Milnes' graciousness despite inability to assist; seeks presentation to Christ's Hospital for one of his sons; has three others and a wife to support on the slender salary of an uncongenial post; harassed by creditors; can Milnes assist? Begs to suggest 'thtat the unpublished struggles and privations of some persons are oft-times as worthy the consideration of the affluent Samaritan, as are the newspaper-paragraphed distresses of a less retiring class of importunates'.

Airlie Lodge. - Thanks for Monographs; hopes to talk over the happy days they recall.

Note of thanks to Milnes, containing quotations from his verses and Biblical chapter references as messages of hope.
