Balerno (Midlothian).—Suggests that a phrase in the second quarto of Romeo and Juliet has been misprinted.

Writes to ask permission to republish an article on Ethics [The History of Ethics], which he wrote for the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Refers to their having previously suggested its republication. Explains that other engagements have prevented him from rewriting it in an enlarged form, but now believes that 'it is desirable that it should be reprinted without much delay...in order that it may be accessible to students in a cheap form.' Expresses the desire that it be republished 'through the agency of Macmillan and Co.'

Thanks Sidgwick for sending him a copy of the new edition of his work [The Principles of Political Economy], which he predicts will be of much value to him. Declares that he is at present engaged in work on the [ ] [ ] Commission. Reports that he has just been looking at Sidgwick's comments on Bimetallism, with which he agrees, but disagrees with Sidgwick's contention that a tabular standard 'would supercede the [ ] for bimetallism.' Claims to see no mode, except that of bimetallism, of which there can be a common standard of value throughout the world, and states that 'a metallic basis of a stable [ ] is essential to the tabular system.' Congratulates Sidgwick on the completion of his work.

22 Belhaven Terrace, Glasgow W. Dated 6th June 1922 - Is glad he accepted the offer of Thomas Brown of Lanfine's signet ring; was interested to hear what he had to say about Miss Martha Brown and visits to Lanfine with his sister.

Madeira - Spring-Rice remarkably well, Funchal, Brookfield misses his daily work, Trench's "little book", amazement at a thirty year old woman who has never read a word of Shakespeare, is being very idle but doing much riding and playing a little billiards, reading Maurice's Kingdom of Christ

Kervaire, M A

Longmans Green & Co Limited - In reply to hers, they are sending [J. D.?] Krige's book for Sir James; only two partners remain from the last generation of the family and they no longer work with them, only two members of staff remember those great days.

Has reduced Theseus's part [at the end of Act I of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; this conveys everything needed, and the following flourish of trumpets is too loud to sing over; it is also hard to wind up the act. Likes Minos's conclusion, but must omit 'so be it'; Trevelyan invited to supply a better way if he can.

17 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. - Has been expecting to hear from The Trevelyans that they are 'greatly ashamed and very sorry for the mischief' made and 'influence exerted' on a 'defenceless' man [Donald Tovey]; must 'express contrition' and 'promise amendment'. Will not 'let the matter rest as it is' though she is prepared to 'resume friendly relations' once they say this, even if she cannot trust them. The 'tragedy here deepens daily [the situation with Tovey's wife Grettie]' and she holds them 'largely responsible for it'; only 'by God's mercy that Donald is not utterly consumed'. Will come south with him when he plays at Northlands this week with Guilhermina Suggia.

61, Ripon St., Cal[cutta]. - Is at Santiniketan, Tagore's university, for a temporary job; he may be able to come to Europe on an Italian liner on the 18 August, arriving in Venice on the 29, and asks where Trevelyan will be then. Thinks Trevelyan's latest collection of poems is his best so far.

c/o A. Waterfield, La Fortezza, Aulla, Lunigiana. - He and Bessie are sorry to hear of his father's accident [see 11/134, 12/90], and hope the rheumatism will have gone by the 28th so that his parents may start back then as planned, or soon after. Hears from the Waterfields that his parents' hotel is a good one, so hopes they are comfortable.

Is very sorry that Charles 'has not got a place [in Campbell-Bannerman's government]'; had expected he would, and hopes 'his chance may yet come' soon. Is sure he will 'take his disappointment in the best spirit'; he 'cannot have long to wait' if he continues to do as well as he has so far as a private member. Generally, 'it seems a very good Government'; glad that even the Tories seem to respect Campbell-Bannerman now.

Has just bought Jebb's edition of Bacchylides, an 'excellent book'. Jebb 'made a beautiful speech at the [Apostles'?] dinner' a few years ago which made Robert 'like him very much'.
