JDH asks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] to sign & forward a letter to Sir Henry Coleltt at 21 Cranley Gardens, London. JDH gives his opinion on Luthe's[?] book, he does not like its tone & thinks the facts need checking but found some of the matter illuminating on the subject of the early church. JDH is sure there would have been much more information on the subject in the library at Alexandria. JDH advises WTTD that [David] Prain may not be suitable replacement for [Daniel] Morris as he might not be able to tolerate the English weather. JDH speculates that WTTD might favour a candidate with a more practical Scottish education than someone from an English university. JDH advises WTTD to ignore Britten's 'snarls' & not to elevate them by complaining to the Treasury.
