British Museum. - Gives a reference for explanations of '"Li Sao" in the Journal of the Royal As[iatic] Soc[iety: Legge. (1895). Art. XXVI.—The Lî Sâo Poem and its Author. Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 27(4), 839-864]. Has almost finished typing up the first part of his new book, and outlines the three planned parts; would be very grateful if Trevevlyan could look through the typescript and 'note unintelligibilities of metre, reference etc'. Is typing four copies, so Trevelyan need not hurry with it; does not expect it will be published in less than eighteen months. Now trying to translate Chinese essays on painting. Tells Trevelyan in a postscript that if he is ever in London he should look him up at the British Museum; is not going away until the end of September.
