3 Belford Park, Edinburgh - Congratulates Frazer; wonders if he has read anything by Lord Dunsany, he has read 'The King of Elfland's Daughter' and '[The Chronicles of] Rodriguez': both make use of magic.

2, Cheyne Gardens, S.W. - Thanks Bob for the book, which he will read with interest 'as the incident has always had a romantic attraction' for him; will send it back when Bob returns. Hopes the '(Georgian) poets abroad [Bob, Lascelles Abercrombie and Wilfrid Gibson] will have a good time'. Will send his essays ["Clio, a Muse and Other Essays"] to the Shiffolds; Bessie can keep it or send it out to Bob. Wrote to the "Times" about the "Sty Head" [see 13/230 and 14/87]; they are 'backing us [the campaigners against a road being built over the pass] up' as is the "Spectator", but it is 'a standing and permanent menace' and vigilance is needed. Hopes Julian will get a 'nice nurse'.

They enjoyed Bob's poems ["From the Shiffolds"] 'so much!' and tell him to 'make it an annual event'. Hear he may be in Florence in the spring; [their son] Daniel and his wife intend to spend six months working in Italy then, and Margaret hopes to visit; tells him to let them have his address there before he leaves.

Edinburgh - Thanks WW for his work on induction in answer to John S. Mill ['Of Induction, with Especial Reference to Mr. J. Stuart Mill's System of Logic', 1850]. Further to their work on revising the recommendations of the mathematics and physics section of the BAAS [see JDF to WW,12 Dec. 1849], JDF thinks it important that new experiments in the area of heat should be devised - as suggested by Philip Kelland's report 'On the Theory of Heat' (1841). JDF is undecided whether he will remain this year for the BAAS meeting, since he is very keen to embark on a continental trip. Murchison [Roderick Murchison] has written to him with suggestions on how best to spend the recent £1000 left to the Royal Society.

Concerns Of the Plurality of Worlds.

Explains that he has been in bed since he received Sidgwick's note, and would have acknowledged it sooner otherwise. Thanks him for giving him 'an early intimation of the proposal made by the Council of the Senate; and also for the manifestation of sympathetic feeling contained' in his expressions. Regrets that he cannot respond in the way Sidgwick would like him to.
