Dear Sir

I return the editor’s proof corrected with suggestions.

The final par[agraph] may I think be omitted altogether. Lower down I have cut out 3 lines as the sentence is involved. Then, at foot in place of the two [2] par.[agraphs] he proposes to omit, I send a condensed par.[agraph] in Mss. less than half the length.

I think it would be well to permit the last sentence or the whole of the last par.[agraph] in semi caps or heavy type, so as to bring out clearly my final conclusion.

I should like to have a revise (in duplicate) [3] as set up in pages.

P.S. It is really too complex and difficult a subject to be properly treated in so limited a space,
