BR thanks Barnes for lending him Barnes's "beautifully bound Plato". He tells Barnes not to bother about the other books in the list. [See record 121559 for the list.] With regard to his last lecture: "I like your short way with the tiresome man [Sam Soffer]. I hadn't noticed him during the lecture, but I thought his questions quite foolish. I am glad the lecture was all right from the point of view of note-taking."
