Scope and content
Salonica. - Was unable to visit Mt. Athos in September, so has asked Archimandrite Dionysius of the Monastery of Xeropotami to provide him with the information Aldis Wright requires about [Constantine] Simonides. Encloses the Archimandrite's replies, confirming that Wright's 'suspicions were but too well founded' [Add.MS a/40/97]; has added an English translation since the letter is 'written in rather barbarous Greek'. Asks to be remembered kindly to Dr [W. G.?] Clark.
