Accepts PE's offer of commentary on Medea for 5th No. of Mus.Crit. Urges PE to write an account of the ed. of Sophocles. Dobree collating mss. of Demosthenes in Paris - soon to be returned to Vienna. JHM drawing up notes on Alcestis, to be printed in new year. Punctuation marks in Alc. 29-37 and Med. 84f.

PE's notes on Medea and oversights of Porson - the Germans will be envious.

Wrong number of offprints of PE's Medea article. A term lost because of fears of fever. Dobree returned from two months in Leyden with Wyttenbach (who is in despair after losing his papers). Schaefer's pirated edition of Adversaria. What of annotations on the Hecuba? JHM wants them to have a position of honour in Mus.Crit.No.6. Asks PE to promote the application of John Brass to Leeds Grammar School (he didn't get it). Asks PE to write a review of the Adversaria for the Classical Quarterly - PE apparently has an objection.

PE has agreed to support John Brass - JHM drafts letter for him to send. Illegally sending PE a (Porson?) book - asks him to destroy this letter! Asks for whatever PE has on the Hecuba - but for PE's promise, Medea rather than Hecuba would have been set for next term.

Publication of 2nd ed. of Hipp. Contribution requested for Museum Criticum.

Begs PE for visit to Cambridge the following weekend (Commencement). Sorry that PE has suggested some excuses for Barker (who claims that Blomfield and PE had praised him - M knows one of these claims to be false, and hopes the other is too). Two years ago Barker had tried (via an undergraduate) to have Cic De Amicitia included as one of the college lecture subjects...so he could increase the sales of one of his books. Thanks PE for 2 articles for the 2nd number of the Mus Crit. 'Professor' more normally prefixed to the name of the holder in Cambridge than in Oxford.

From London - Blomfield about to arrive in town - the three to dine together. Suggests Ibbotsons Hotel (off Oxford Street - but it is not central.

Double letter (brought by a friend). Notes/conjectures on the Alcestis - wants PE's views (and especially wants to properly attribute the ideas of others). Has read PE's notes on HF in the most recent Class.Journ. - some rude remarks on Gilbert Wakefield.

In London - PE to send anything for the Mus.Crit. to Ibbotson's Hotel.

Something else has been sent under separate cover (rejected by the Post Office as too much for one cover). A) In PE's note on a word, he ought to differ, not from JHM, but from Porson, whose opinion JHM had defended. B) Begs PE to delete any reference to the Class.Journ. - not so much Barker, as the behaviour of the editor towards Blomfield and JHM.
