Scope and content

Expresses his condolences on the deaths of Anna and Alasdair Geddes. Discusses Geddes' Lucknow report and his own work on agricultural credit and social engineering. Mention of Leslie Scott, Inspector H. Adams and [David] Lloyd George. Refers to the 'New Series' and discussions with Victor Branford on Ross' contribution to it, and the finance of agriculture. Claims that it should be devoted to a higher place - not only neo-technic but geo-technic and [en]-psychic. Asks Geddes if he could expand his ideas on Forestry Insurance.
