India Office.—Has just seen the Prime Minister, who has agreed to appoint Sinha as Under-Secretary, with a peerage, a decision which shows lack of foresight. The Prime Minister also, in Stamfordham’s presence, reluctantly agreed to mention the Indian legislation in the King’s speech.

100, Boulevard Pereire, XVIIe - Thanks him for the book 'Heures du Loisir'.

33 Ossington Street, Bayswater. - Sends the score and manuscript [her German translation of Trevelyan and Tovey's 'The Bride of Dionysus'] and asks Trevelyan to confirm receipt. Very good of Trevelyan to invite her to the Shiffolds again; would like to come, but finds it hard to make plans and fears she would not be able to help with recasting the poem. Would like to do some practical work, and has offered her help to one of the societies which tries to help 'foreign girls and women stranded here without friends owing to the war'; currently they have enough volunteers but may want more soon as 'the pressure of work is very heavy'. Would be a relief to do something. Feels that 'Germany has acted criminally and that she will have to suffer unspeakably for it'. Miss Weisse's conduct is 'extraordinary': for someone with heart disease to go into the 'middle of all the upset' sounds 'almost suicidal'. Asks to be remembered to Mr Tovey; is sorry that his plans for going abroad are now upset; he must be glad to have his Edinburgh work to look forward to. Sends love to Mrs Trevelyan and Julian.

My dear Sir

I agree with you entirely that it would be better to have the notes at the foot of the page of the text to which they refer, but I think that additional lines, if numerous, would be best in an Appendix: this arrangement would represent the Cotton Ms.

Perhaps, however, it would be well, to have some portions set up in type: in one instance placing the notes and additional lines at the foot of the page, and in the other placing the notes only at the foot of the page, and giving intimation there that the additional lines will be in the Appendix.

Ever faithfully yours
T. Duffus Hardy

You had better adhere to the punctuation in the Ms. and discard the modern.

Proofs with revisions, with another copy, some gatherings represented by three copies.
