Gives thanks to editor and to Tanner. Increased time will be helpful. Is pleased about the publication of Caggese's Robert of Anjou, a much needed publication, he feels, which will prove useful for the chapter on Dante.

Is anxious about eyesight which, due to poor advice, has not recovered. Has been told he has cataracts but one eye should hold out. Has started 'The Age of Dante' but his reading is slow. Is worried about the chapters on the Popes of the fifteenth century and the Medicis. Has good notes concerning the Popes but the Medicis he is out of touch with. Suggests three historians, Mrs Ady, Mrs Lernor and Mr Roth, who could write the chapter on the Medici's.
