Autograph letter, signed, to J. R. Tanner from G. G. Coulton, Cambridge

Would like others to complete chapters on mysticism and witchcraft and suggests Mrs Stuart Moore and Mrs Thorndike. His wife's illness has put him behind by one year and feels he does not have the time to make a good job of it. Has just finished Arts and the Reformation and now has work to do on school history volumes. Will do something for the Bishop of Liverpool but has said that he cannot put a time to it.

Autograph letter, signed, to the editors of the Cambridge Medieval History from G. L. Burr, New York

Some years before had been asked to write on magic, witchcraft and astrology but will now have to refuse. Feels it is best to let them know now before they contact him and it is too late. Has been prevailed upon to be literary executor to two old friends and has now no time to write anything further. Suggests Professor Lynn Thorndike as a possible replacement or Dr Joseph Hansen. Feels that astrology no longer should be bracketed with witchcraft and magic but more associated with astronomy and suggests Professor Tatlock may be interested.
