Notes and topics

"Wednesday morning" Her proofs. "Conceit is a delightful feeling and very useful to help one through with one's work...." Similarity of their religious upbringing. Enthusiasm for scepticism. Theo. Davies back from Berlin—waste of time for work, both in philosophy and economics; talked also with Stout "(the editor of Mind)" about Berlin, "It would never do, for me at any rate, to go round the world: life is much too short." "It would be delightful to write every day." Wants views from Alys for his Society paper on admission of women ["Lövberg or Hedda"]. Encloses "a few hasty jottings". Much on his intentions in the paper. "All that can result from the paper will be the recording of our opinions in the minute-book...." "Return abstract for writing of paper on Sunday".
