Scope and content
The White Gates. - Letter dictated. Asks Bob to help him, as before, with his 'ripe scholarship'. Has to adapt some text from "Revelations", set to music, to the Latin Vulgate [for a Latin version of "Sancta Civitas"]; asks if he can substitute "quia" for "quoniam", which is 'very awkward', at one point.
