Notes and topics

"I wrote a first draft of it [the paper] this morning after reading thy suggestions, which thee will see I have woven into my argument in various places." Encloses Dickinson's poem on Society (not present). Encloses rough draft (not present), but he will have to re-write it as end contradicts beginning and yet he wishes to keep both. Germany. Sanger read on "Which Wagner?" "McTaggart ran his Absolute". The Absolute always goes against the Chronicle. Talked music with Young (late of Balliol).

Explanation of terms in paper peculiar to Society [valuable]. Has two papers to do for Ward this week and then an essay for Stout. Carrying on an ethical controversy as to ethical axioms: "I have revolted from pure hedonism which has annoyed Sidgwick."
