I wrote to Hodder & Stoughton on the matter of publishing the lecture on Tyndale. After wasting so much on the wretched thing, I find it difficult to cast it without more ceremony to final oblivion!

J. G. Wilson came to lunch, and afterwards talked with me about providing a successor to himself as legal secretary in the person of Cecil Ferens. I left the whole business in his hands.

Lionel and I walked round the Park in the rain. The coroner's jury have returned a verdict of suicide in the case of young Ponsonby. It is most lamentable.

The Spectator has a politely–expressed review of my "Notes on Spiritual Healing". The writer has evident hankerings after the superstitions which he hardly ventures to defend.

Mrs Murray telegraphed to say that both her daughters were engaged to be married, & begging me to perform the double ceremony on a day at the end of June. I wired to say that the only date possible for me was June 30th. So the world marches. Vivian and Eleanor were small children when first I knew them. Now they are about to marry.

I wrote to Robin suggesting that he should come over from Wynyard, lunch, walk, & talk.
