Mind, volume 10, number 37.

Typewritten copy of letter dated 31 January 1896. Apologises for not having written to her sooner with reference to her article in Mind on ' Significs'; explains that he has been very busy. Adds that he has delayed to write partly because he does not have any useful suggestions on the question of 'a Paper for the International Congress of Psychology'. Declares that he believes that the question 'is mainly one for logicians rather than psychologists and that it will not be very easy to find a mode of treatment which will make it an altogether appropriate topic for a Psychological Congress'. Suggests ' Interpretation as a psychological process' or some similar phrase as the title of her paper. Observes that she does not include psychology 'on p.25 - among the list of studies that has a peculiar meaning term correlated with it', and remarks that he thinks that there would be 'some interest in working out the characteristics of Interpretation as a psychological process'.

Edinburgh - Thanks WW for his last letter. He is sorry that there is a view in the south prevailing, which suggests both he and David Brewster have been at 'dagger's drawing' over their late contest [for Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University, see JDF to WW, 31 Mar. 1833 ] - the opposite was the case. JDF still thinks that an abridgement to WW's book on mechanics [The First Principles of Mechanics: With Historical and Practical Illustrations, 1832] 'with some leading propositions for the 3 first sections of Newton (taken from your 'Introduction') and concluded with a comprehensive mathematical theory of Hydrostatics' would be really useful [see JDF to WW, 31 Mar. 1833].
