Ross' Hotel, Parkgate Street, Dublin. - Stayed on in Cambridge to dictate some manuscripts; saw a good deal of Miss Anscombe and had tea a few times with Rollins, 'who didn't seem to me to have deteriorated'; also enjoyed his one meeting with Moore; has found that he is able to work again, wishes to 'make hay... while the sun shines in my brain'. Copies of his typescript with Anscombe and Moore; would like Malcolm to have one, but is not sure how to get him one. Postscript: also enjoyed seeing von Wright in Cambridge.
