Has told Malaviya that, by refusing to suspend controversy during the Prince of Wales’s visit, Gandhi had given the impression that India was disloyal; and he repudiated the rumour that if the Prince was well received the Government would claim that India had no real grievances. Malaviya suggested that Gandhi might yet relent if the obstacle of the Ali brothers could be negotiated, but Reading refused to discuss their case, which is now in the hands of the courts.

18 W 32 N St, New York. - There was a slight error in the address of Procter's letter, so Sherwood has only just received it. Cannot immediately send Lord Houghton's last letter to his son, though she has always intended to do so; 'it is a most precious autograph, written but a short time before his lamented death saying that he hoped to assist at Westminster Abbey at the services in honour of General Grant'. Many of Lord Houghton's other letters contain 'gossiping details of great persons', which he wrote to her in confidence 'with permision to use them "after everybody was dead"'. Intends to leave them sealed and directed to the second Lord Houghton.

Lord Houghton always showed 'a curious literary and intellectual interest' in her; he told her 'many good stories' which she thinks he meant she should 'incorporate later in some sketch of himself'. Is very glad to have seen him with Lady Galway at Rome in the winter of 1884; 'her devotion was beautiful'. Glad Mrs Procter sees 'so much of Mr & Mrs Phelps, we are very proud of them'.

Tasner's address is given as Pest, with the instruction 'ask address at Casino'.

Eton College - ECH looks forward to seeing WW and Cordelia Whewell on the 18th of May. If Lord John Russell is not careful with regard to his investigations concerning the University, he will 'excite a spirit of extreme dislike to his government in a Body of very great and very just influence in this country'. ECH is delighted to hear that Sir James Stephen's lectures are so popular. He has just received a paper outlining a series of charges against JS's opinions on several mysterious points. 'Stephen is the best of men, and it is nothing but his boundless love for all that is good among men of various sects and opinions that has led him to assume a latitudinarianism in his Essays which, I believe, greatly exceed his private convictions'.
