Summary
Concerning an article of Knight's that might be appropriate for the Hibbert Journal; saying he has written to [L.P.] Jacks and heard that the Journal is full till the end of the year; giving him Jacks' address in Birmingham;" expressing his surprise that Knight is leaving Scotland and will be settling in Malvern; saying he will be in Italy until July but that he would like to hear more about the Martineau pamphlets when he returns; apologizing that he was unable to send him anything about Miss Swanwick "but my store of recollections was small; and I have been under great stress of work this winter with a book on the Bible in the Nineteenth Century which had to be written & printed by a fixed date, & a vol. of Essays with Wicksteed. The last sheets of both these have just passed through my hand; & now I am busy with proofs of a translation of a curious little vol. of Essays of Max Müller's, published shortly before his death in German. The translation was made by two most incompetent Americans, & has given me a good deal of trouble. There is still a great deal of work to be cleared off, before I can make holiday abroad. I trust that the milder but still bracing climate of Malvern may suit both you & Mrs. Knight better than the harsher winter at Dundee."
