Scope and content
IV Schwindgasse 9, Vienna - Sends a cheque Madame Rose received from her editor Fabian Ware; has had the enclosed letter from Sir Edward Goschen for a year; asked their Peking correspondent Dr [George Ernest] Morrison about Chinese substitutions; was told about a goat sacrifice in the Ardèche; shown examples of sympathetic magic in the cathedral at Lyons, points out a printer's error; no holiday because the situation in Russia and there is too uncertain. The enclosed letter, from Sir Edward Goschen to Wickham Steed dated Sept. 1, 1905 states that Steed has mixed up his stories, that he never heard Steed's story before, but has one of his own of a Chinese man committing suicide in revenge against someone, an example of their contempt for death; can't believe what is happening re: the Japanese and Saghalien [Sakhalin Island], given the sacrifices the Japanese made.
