Scope and content
Headed mourning stationery, 'Springfield, Cambridge'. - Returns one of the letters she had retained [now Add. MS a/716/2]. Thanks him for his 'kind and considerate reception of the book' [her Life and Letters of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb...], and for his corrections; asks him to send her any other errors he sees. The Pitt [Cambridge University] Press expect that they will have to reprint before long. A few slight errors 'cannot easily be changed' and will be left in place unless reviews draw attention to them. Discussion of a mistake involving Henry Cecil Raikes and Sir George Stokes.
Postscript; wishes there 'could be a gossippy review somewhere with copious quotations'; afraid that the 'high level of the Times' delightful Review' [Times Literary Supplement, anonymous but by J. R. Thursfield, 10 Oct. 1907] may give the impression that the book is not for the general reader.
