My dear Smyly,
Many thanks for
the proofs and suggestions. Further
contributions will be gratefully
received.
We hope to leave England on the 31st
though I am getting rather nervous
as to whether the proofs will really
be finished. There is an appalling

lot to alter and the introd to 60²
is not yet written. Hunt goes home
about the 22nd. How about your
visit? Will you come on the 22nd or
24th?
I am up in town for a confounded
wedding of a cousin³ but return
tonight.

Yours ever
B.P.G.

3. The wedding presumably explains the stationery. It was the wedding of Philip Edward Percival and Sylvia Baines; the bride was Smyly's maternal cousin. Grenfell attended with his mother (silver napkin rings were their gift). Gloucester Journal, 14 Dec. 1901, p. 8.
