Thanks for remarks on early portions of JH's Iliad translation. Hopes MA can go over 2800 particularly 'shaky' lines.
Has sent his translation of Homer's Iliad to the publisher and is having a collection of the best portions sent to EC.
Is not convinced by his arguments that the moon's surface consists of snow and glaciers. Quotes examples relating to his experiences at the Cape.
