Department of Manuscripts, British Museum. - Hopes soon to be able to 'revise Mr [H. I.] Bell's transcript of the Isocrates papyrus'; this will take a little time but he will then send it to Wright to print in the Journal of Philology.

Regarding Wright's enquiries about Lawrence, the notes in Lansdowne MS.98 art 26 are not those printed by Strype in appendix LXXXV to his Life of [Matthew] Parker, but notes on Gregory Nazanzius [?] not the New Testament, 'and I cannot find that we have the latter'. The Lansdowne notes are 'no doubt by hthe same person; for they are endorsed "Mr Lawrence ye great Grecian, Teacher of yt [that] tongue to ye Lady Burghley", which corresponds with Strype's account'. Discusses the use of the same phrase in Ballard's Memoirs of Several Ladies of Great Britain, 1752, and the likelihood that it refers to Giles Lawrence rather than Thomas Lawrence. Cites a reference to Giles Lawrence in Bishop Kennett's MS collections, Lansdowne 982 f 55.
