Letter from Harry R. Reichel, Bangor,

Cannot suggest a French or Italian book for translation as he now reads only theology and biography; will consult Fynes-Clinton. Is much impressed by Coningsby and Sybil by Disraeli. R. T. Jenkins was 'an admirable appointment'. Discusses the sermons of various preachers, and encloses a volume of his father's cathedral and university sermons.

Letter from L. A. Selby-bigge, 127 Sloane Street,

The Labour Government was defeated on a Roman Catholic amendment claiming money for Roman Catholic and Anglican schools. The issue was handled very badly by MacDonald and the Labour Government. 'Charles Trevelyan is not very adroit in his use of any weapon'. The choice of a Federal Constitution for India is rather surprising. A 'big political crisis' is on the horizon at home. Unemployment is a truly intractable problem.

Letter from E. Cynolwyn Pugh, Chicago,

Discusses books he has read. The church in Chicago is very successful. The commercial and industrial situation is very serious. Bill Thompson was elected mayor in the Primaries yesterday. Hopes to visit Kitty when the situation improves. Welsh.

Letter from Arthur Newsholme, Edgbaston,

Recalls his association with John Herbert Lewis at the old Local Government Board. Is much impressed by John Herbert Lewis's attitude towards his disability. Has been very busy since his retirement in 1919; outlines his activities. Is sending a volume of miscellaneous address to John Herbert Lewis. Now feels the need for more leisure.

Letter from Ethel Snowden, Tilford,

Was so sorry to learn of John Herbert Lewis's illness. It is hoped that Philip Snowden's health will improve, 'though he will never again be able to stand the strain he has lived under for years'. He will now probably be able to introduce his Budget.

Letter from W. O. Lester Smith, Manchester,

Recalls seeing John Herbert Lewis many years ago distributing the prizes at the Holywell County School and has seen a photograph of John Herbert Lewis at the Board of Education. 'All educationists grieve to think of you - as one of their greatest champions - out of action'.

Letter from E. Cynolwyn Pugh, Chicago,

Thanks for the two books. Discusses modernist and evangelical literature. Is now meeting some of the Ministers in the USA who are 'either Supra-Modern or Ultra-Fundamental'. Discusses the state of commerce and industry. Often thinks of Wales. Welsh.

Letter from R. Dewi Williams, Rhyl,

Thanks for the offer to the school of Y Gwyddoniadur. There is a shortage of interesting books, easy to read. John Herbert Lewis may have some spare books. Attached is a list of 29 students at the school. Welsh.

Letter from Lord Clwyd, 16 Southwell Gardens,

Personal news. Has been attending the sittings of the House of Lords which have been rather dull. The times are 'undoubtedly critical'. Believes more attention should be paid to 'the psychology of nations'. Is perplexed by domestic politics. Has attended a meeting of the Governors of the Church at Aberystwyth. Feels religious life has been overcome by lethargy, but 'fuller light' will come again.
