Doubts whether Geddes could fill the Albert Hall six times in April with teachers and schoolchildren, as they would only prefer the matinees, transport could be an issue for some and the upcoming school break might prevent many from attending.

Anon. [Gentile da Fabriano]

Asking Patrick Geddes about the possibility of exhibiting part of his Edinburgh Survey work at the Town Planning Exhibition at Crosby Hall.

A lengthy discussion of their differences, Geddes being scientific, Whitson belonging 'to the older social formation ... country gentlemen with spats'. Geddes cites Whitson's 'limitations, your massive, crass and invincible ignorance of each and every order of reality amidst which you live ... for the sciences'. Concludes by hoping he will not take offence. Geddes refers to the domination of the aristociacy in England (and Prussia - the Junkers) whose ideas prevent a sensible solution to Ireland's problems. Lujo Brentano, Vernon Lee (Violet Paget), Lord Lister and Lord Salisbury are mentioned.
