Item
1 Jan. 1911

Thanks Glover for his letters with corrections to a manuscript. Notes that Glover has applied for a post which he thought no one was going to take because Postgate and Conway are too comfortable in their current posts. Asks Glover to consider supporting C. A. Parsons as a successor for Butcher, and suggests George Darwin and Col. Caldwell as alternatives.
