So true & right was that observation of the Emperor Frederick the third, who, when one said unto him, he would go find some place where no hypocrites inhabited, he told him, 'He must travel then beyond the Sauromatoe & the frozen Ocean, & yet, when he came there, he should find an Hypocrite, if he found himself there.

I sent copies of 'The Book and the Vote' to:–

1. Hugh Macmillan.

2. Earl Russell.

3. Archbishop D'Arcy

4. Bishop Gore.

I wrote to Geoffrey Dawson invoking his assistance in the matter of the Durham Castle Fund.

Also I wrote to Tymms inquiring whether it was the case that he was circulating in Billingham a Romanising manual called S. Swithun's Prayer Book. After dealing with Fisher Ferguson I can hardly leave alone the other fanaticks: but it is a [?] nuisance to have to deal with either. I wrote to William.
