Dear Pollock,
Here is the part referring to Clifford of the Report I mentioned. The expression is less concentrated than from memory I supposed it was, & you must judge how far you can make use of any of the sentences or whether you would not better put the gist of the recommendation in words of your own. Perhaps you will tear up the paper when you have made use of it, the document being private. I need only add that according to a by-law of the College, a Professor vacates his office as soon as he has let two sessions pass without lecturing.
In the circumstances I have sent on your art. to the printer, & must ask Land to stand over for another quarter which for your sake, I daresay, he will be willing enough to do, seeing his critical notice can afford to wait {2}.
Yours truly
G C Robertson
