Dearest Boy
I have this morning received the enclosed letter from Dr. David Kaufmann. Will you go to the Priory as soon as possible and take from the folio containing the memorial articles on your Father, Mr. Harrison's article in Academy, the article in the Fortnightly, the article in the Pall Mall Gazette, and any others in which there are true things about him and nothing quite mistaken -- articles which we do not think good may yet have something in them justly indicating your father's position as a writer. (You will not of course take the article in Examiner, nor Delboeuf's). 248 Then will you add to them this from the Daily Telegraph (which I send because I think there is no duplicate) and the list of the works which I copy on the opposite page, and write a letter to Kaufmann saying that you despatch these things together with a copy of the Study of Psychology, according to his request which I being in the country have forwarded to you. It will be best to send your letter by post and ask Tr'fcbner to despatch the articles and volume as soon as possible -- unless he can tell you how to address and despatch it so that you can see the thing done yourself.
It is very neglectful of T. not to send me any account of the subscription for the Study of Psychology. In my experience that attention is always shown by a publisher as a matter of course.
I am better, but the cold weather is unfavourable.
You will know that I am very anxious about having these things done at once.
Your loving
Mutter.
