Re BR's lectures at Bryn Mawr later in 1896: "I must tell thee one thing, that I don't believe Bertie will have a good manner in lecturing. He is fearfully nervous and shy about it, and he thinks he will have to read the lectures."

"Bertie is not keen on going to other colleges, because he feels that the Johns Hopkins and Bryn Mawr are the best."

"Bertie does not really feel competent to write about psychology. The chapter on the 'Psychological Origins of Space-Relations', in his dissertation was severely criticised...."

122423

Alys thanks M. Carey Thomas for the invitation to lecture. "Bertie's book has been accepted by the Cambridge University Press, and we hope it will be in proof before we sail."

122424

"We shall still sail Sept. 26th and go to Millville for a visit on arriving, then a few days to Germantown ... and a trip to Boston, etc., before coming to you".

"I do not think the Mathematical Congress would care for a paper from him, as he says to thee, because he has done no original mathematical work".

"We are very busy this week with the International Labour Congress. The behaviour of the delegates is shocking, but very amusing ... our particular charge, Prince Borghese, is a charming simple young man, with an ambition to be a professor of political economy".

122425

Alys writes after their visit: "It was a perfectly delightful month, and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely, and found it exceedingly profitable as well. Bertie feels that thee and all the academic people were most kind, and he was delighted to have such a splendid opportunity of lecturing to such a splendid audience. He enjoyed all the social things, too, for the first time in his life."

She hopes her own lecture [supposedly on free love] does not cause too much trouble. She and Bertie are now in Germantown.

122426

"We went on Wednesday to the reception of the Graduate Club here [New York] to meet Chas. Dudley Warner, and we were simply loved to death, and came home early. It was so different from your charming reception to Bertie."

"What a wretch Lady Scott is to drag in poor Santayana. I hope it will not injure him. The papers are so dull this week with no accounts of the trial in them!"

"Bertie had 40 at his lecture on Wednesday, but did not find them a sympathetic audience like Bryn Mawr."

122427

"Of course will give up the lecture in New York, and I will write to Miss Minturn that I have decided to give it up for fear the College might be indirectly held responsible for what I say."

122428

"We cannot imagine how anyone could have supposed that we believed in such things as anarchism or free love. We never once mentioned in the presence of any Bryn Mawr students religion, neo-Malthusianism or free love." We did say that if "one party to a marriage has been unfaithful and returns a penitent, the other party should forgive." She actually preached the "duty to marry and have children." Their views have been totally distorted.

122429

"Bertie is sending the letters of his great-grandmother, Maria Josepha Holroyd. We have not read them yet, but they sound amusing."

"It is a great comfort to have that wretched Lady Scott landed in prison." Frank Russell "has come out of the trial with a better reputation than ever before." "It is she undoubtedly who had his house burned down, and she has tried to bribe his servants to poison him."

Hannah Whitall Smith has added a postscript to this letter.

122430

This letter is not complete. Re the arrangement of BR's lectures at Bryn Mawr.

122431

"I have written Uncle Robert to say that our mathematicians are delighted with Bertie's paper. They say it is brilliant, original, acute, that his propositions, radical as they are, are maintained, and many other ecstatic things."

"They want him to deliver one lecture at the Mathematical Congress that meets in New York in November."
