Summary
Saying he is "quite in the dark as to any new life of my sister Kate [Greenaway]. I have not seen any announcement of it or even had any intimation that one was contemplated;" relating family news; discussing his work and saying that "the war has, of course, led to a great diminution in chemical research in all countries; adding "How the war affects everything. I have been at Oxford once or twice. An Oxford without undergraduates, with Colleges converted into barracks or hospitals. But for some 6000 officers in training there would be no young men in the place."
