Summary
Writing that he is "coming to Oxford next Friday to represent Cambridge at the Liberal League Dinner to Sir Edward Grey", asking if he may have lunch with Balston and if he would "ask the child to come too?"; remarking that he is reading a book called The evolution of modesty (probably a reference to Havelock Ellis's book of that title published in 1900) and that it "explains how the parts are only covered to make them the more interesting"; adding that "[Robert Allason?] Furness is coming with me and would like to come to."
