I have seen Wickham Legg & find that his reading party is quite filled up. I have recommended Jack to try whether Mr Jeffreys of BNC could take him. he is, I believe, an excellent teacher. If this should fail I will try to hear of some other reading party which may be going...” with a postscript that he and seen “Jack again & he tells me that Mr Jeffreys is also full. I am going to talk to Fisher about a reading party...”, 3 sides 8vo., New College, Oxford headed paper, 6th March
