Scope and content

110 Banbury Road, Oxford.—His reading of Cicero’s Tusculanarum Quaestiones prompted him to write the enclosed parallel. Asks Smith to help him publish it in a newspaper anonymously. If he submitted it himself he thinks it would be probably be lost or rejected, like his recent letter to The Times about the demolition of buildings in Beaumont Street [Oxford].
