Saturday, August 17th, 1912.

Heart of oak hath sometimes warped a little in the scorching heat of persecution. Their want of true courage herein cannot be excused. Yet many censure them for surrendering up their forts after a long siege, who would have yielded up their own at the first summons. Oh there is more required to make one valiant, than to call Cranmer or Jewell coward, as if the fire in Smithfield had been no hotter than what is painted in the Book of Martyrs.

Thomas Fuller 'The Holy State' p. 203. Cambridge 1642.

Another letter, crossing mine of yesterday, arrived from the Putumayo Solicitors. I walked round to the office of the Anti–Slavery & Aborigines Protection Society, &, finding both Buxton & Harris absent, directed the correspondence to be forwd to the former. The game grows somewhat warmer.
