In your Court Records p. 93 (13 April 1603) you may care to refer to Arber II. 38. There was a London edition of the Lepanto published by Stafford and Hooke, 1603. A copy was in Bindley IV. 410—Heber IV. 1189—Britwell (private cat. of Eng. poetry II. 220, but not, apparently sold at Sotheby’s, see Checklist). See Arber III. 232.

8 The Broadway, Hammersmith, W.—Praises Greg’s notes on John Phillip (as reprinted from The Library).

109 St George's Square, S.W. -- Is sorry to hear of his accident, asks that he accept one of her copies of Bridle Paths: is glad to send to anyone who remembers as she does.

75, Eaton Rise, Ealing, W. -- Sends the book and will be glad to know what Munby thinks of it, says the Morning Post alleges he wastes his time on trivial topics, that he has no critical power, or ideas, depressing for a man of sixty-eight who cannot change his spots.

Whorlton Hall, Barnard Castle -- Thanks him for the gift; is now in Durham and admires the country and people; is enjoying her time with the George Darwins.

Two letters written from Inglefield, Gomshall, Nr Guildford. The first, dated 25 February 1907 announces that she has moved to the country for her health, and thanks him for his nice words about her book; the second, 9 Aug. 1907 concerns arrangements to meet.

Pyrford Rough, Woking -- Returns vol. II, regrets that it is only privately published, would enjoy reviewing it; notes the gorse, broom, and rhododendron blooming, and that he passed three nightingales 'new abaysshed' as Chaucer says, and not yet back to full melody. This letter is followed by a list, also in Tuckwell's hand[?] listing the younger Darwin generation.

Park Nook, Prince’s Park, Liverpool.—Asks about the types and borders used by Thomas Berthelet.

75 Eaton Rise, Ealing, London, W. -- Given Munby's scrupulous habits of correspondence, Dobson wonders if Munby received the Evelyn Prefaces, which he addressed to "Beach Hotel, Seaton."

Cannes -- Admires Mrs Litchfield, who has given her a copy of A Century of Darwin Letters; has been ill, which has delayed her departure; refers to tensions between France and Germany.

Park Nook, Prince’s Park, Liverpool.—Comments on Greg’s list of books printed by Thomas Berthelet.
