They did not know of Clerk Maxwell or Karl Pearson at Oxford.

BR is glad Moore is writing 6000 words a week for Baldwin's Dictionary. More proofs (of BR's The Philosophy of Leibniz).

Mainly in Latin. BR asks Moore to verify several translations from Leibniz. One of them BR has been "unable to construe parts of".
