Dear Mr. President, Here is the Prime Minister's reply together with the drafts of the letters I am to write to Mr. Hull, approved by London. I think you will agree that they meet all essential points so far as our side of the transaction is concerned.
I should very much like to know whether you are satisfied before you leave Washington to-day. General Watson tells me you have got a terrible lot of engagements for the rest of the day so perhaps you could get him to give me your answer over the telephone.
Believe me, Dear Mr. President, Yours very sincerely,
The Honourable
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President.

​The position of the Duke of Windsor on the Continent in recent months has been causing His Majesty and His Majesty's Government some embarrassment as, though his loyalties are unimpeachable, there is always a backwash of Nazi intrigue which seeks now that the greater part of the Continent is in enemy hands to make trouble about him. There are personal and family difficulties about his return to this country.
In all the circumstances it was felt that an appointment abroad might appeal to him and the Prime Minister has with His Majesty's cordial approval offered him the Governorship of the Bahamas. His Royal Highness has intimated that he will accept the appointment.
The Prime Minister wished the President to have the earliest possible advance information of this decision which has only just been arrived at.

# Lord Lister and Sir Alexander Fleming

This poem is devoted to Sir Alexander Fleming and Sir Joseph Lister for their revolutionary discoveries on medical fields. It was first recited at the party for the occasion of Fleming being knighted, at St. Marry's Hospital by Zachary Cope, a good friend of Fleming's, in late July 1944.
Lord Lister and Sir Alexander Fleming
The septic microbes, not so long ago Were to the surgeon a most bitter foe; They got into the wound, which, thus inflamed, Oft killed the patient or might leaved him maimed.
"Twas Lister first showed us the simple way To keep the microbes out, and thus to stay The dreaded sepsis of but yesterday.
Yet there remained a battle still to win How to destroy the germs that had got in
Twas Fleming showed the way that gap to fill in By finding that great wonder - penicillin Which kills the germs, and has this extra charm It scarcely ever does the patient harm.
Thank God for what these two great men achieved For all the sick they have from death reprieved Or of their ailments painlessly relieved.

## 15. To Bishop Aetius

[362 Jan Constantinople]
I have remitted their sentence of exile for all in common who were banished in whatever fashion by Constantius of blessed memory, on account of the folly of the Galilaeans. But in your case, I not only remit your exile, but also, since I am mindful of our old acquaintance and intercourse, I invite you to come to me. You will use a public conveyance as far as my headquarters, and one extra horse.

## 14. To Prohaeresius

[End of 361 or early in 362. Constantinople]
Why should I not address the excellent Prohaeresius, a man who has poured forth his eloquence on the young as rivers pour their floods over the plain; who rivals Pericles in his discourses, except that he does not agitate and embroil Greece? But you must not be surprised that I have imitated Spartan brevity in writing to you. For though it becomes sages like you to compose very long and impressive discourses, from me to you even a few words are enough. Moreover you must know that from all quarters at once I am inundated by affairs. As for the causes of my return, if you are going to write an historical account I will make a very precise report for you, and will hand over to you the letters, as written evidence. But if you have resolved to devote your energies to the last, till old age, to your rhetorical studies and exercises, you will perhaps not reproach me for my silence.

## 2. To the Same

[358-359, from Gaul]
As regards a visit to me from your good self, if you have it in mind, make your plans now, with the help of the gods, and exert yourself; for perhaps a little later I too shall have no time to spare. Hunt up for me all the writings of Iamblichus to his namesake. Only you can do this, for your sister's son-in-law owns a thoroughly revised version. And, if I am not mistaken, while I was writing this sentence, a marvellous sign was vouchsafed me. I entreat you not to let Theodorus and his followers deafen you too by their assertions that Iamblichus, that truly godlike man, who ranks next to Pythagoras and Plato, was worldly and self-seeking. But if it be rash to declare my own opinion to you, I may reasonably expect you to excuse me, as one excuses those who are carried away by a divine frenzy. You are yourself an ardent admirer of Iamblichus for his philosophy and of his namesake for his theosophy. And I too think, like Apollodorus, that the rest are not worth mentioning compared with those two. As for your collection of the works of Aristotle, so much I will say, you have made me style myself your pupil, though I have no right to the title. For while Maximus of Tyre in six books was able to initiate me to some little extent into Plato's logic, you, with one book, have made me, perhaps I may even say, a complete initiate in the philosophy of Aristotle, but at any rate a thyrsus-bearer. When you join me I can prove the truth of my words by the great number of works that I wrote in my spare time, during last winter.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Lit. "your goodness." For Julian's use of this and similar abstract words, see Letter 32.
* ↑ Bidez prefers "my namesake," and makes the writer refer to Julian the theurgist or Chaldean, whom we know from Suidas. More probably the younger Iamblichus is meant.
* ↑ Cf. Vol. 2, 284c, for a similar sign of approval given to Julian by Zeus.
* ↑ Theodorus of Asine was a disciple of the great Iamblichus; we know of no such polemics as are indicated here.
* ↑ Plato, Phaedo 69c, says that "many carry the thyrsus of Dionysus, but few are really inspired."

## 17. To Zeno

[362 early. Constantinople]
There is indeed abundant evidence of other kinds that you have attained to the first rank in the art of medicine and that your morals, uprightness and temperate life are in harmony with your professional skill But now has been added the crowning evidence. Though absent, you are winning to your cause the whole city of Alexandria. So keen a sting, like a bee's, have you left in her. This is natural; for I think that Homer was right when he said "One physician is worth many other men." And you are not simply a physician, but also a teacher of that art for those who desire to learn, so that I might almost say that what physicians are as compared with the mass of men, you are, compared with other physicians. This is the reason for putting an end to your exile, and with very great distinction for yourself. For if it was owing to George that you were removed from Alexandria, you were removed unjustly, and it would be most just that you should return from exile. Do you, therefore, return in all honour, and in possession of your former dignity. And let the favour that I bestow be credited to me by both parties in common, since it restores Zeno to the Alexandrians and Alexandria to you.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Zeno had been exiled by George, the Arian bishop of Alexandria, in 360. He was a friend and correspondent of Libanius. George had been murdered by the mob on December 24th, 361.

# Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Babu Moti Lal Ghose

By BABU MOTILAL GHOSE
*** Be it borne in mind that the Indian labourers under the leadership of a saintly character like Mr. Gandhi and several other selfless and noble-hearted Indians and Europeans, are fighting not only for themselves but also for their motherland and the British Empire, nay, for humanity itself. Indeed the unparalleled spirit of self-sacrifice and heroic endurance they are displaying is bound to elevate the soul of every man who has a drop of humanity in him.
# Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Civic Freedom

CIVIC FREEDOM
This is an incident that happened when he went to England:—
A gentleman on board said, "I see you are going to London in order to get rid of the day's collar!" Precisely; it was because they did not want to wear a dog's collar that they had put up that fight. They were willing to sacrifice everything for sentiment, but ​it was a noble sentiment. It was a sentiment that had to be cherished as a religious sentiment. It was a sentiment that bound people together; it was a sentiment that bound creatures to the Creator. That was the sentiment for which he asked them, advised them, if necessary, to die. Their action would be reflected throughout the British Dominions, through the length and breadth of India, and they were now upon their trial. There was no better and no fear for a man who believed in God. No matter what might be said, he would always repeat that it was a struggle for religious liberty. By religion they did not mean formal religion, or customary religion, but that religion which underlay all religions, which brought them face to face with their Maker. If they ceased to be men; if, on taking a deliberate vow, they broke that vow in order that they might remain in the Transvaal without physical inconvenience, they undoubtedly forsook their God. To repeat again the words of the Jew of Nazareth, those who would follow God had to leave the world, and he had called upon his countrymen, in that particular instance, to leave the world and cling to God, as a child would cling to the mother's breast.
Their natural deaths they could die far outside the Transvaal, wherever there was a piece of earth given them, but if they would die a noble death, a man's death, there was only one course open to them. ​The handful of Indians who had a right to remain in the Transvaal should be allowed to remain as worthy citizens of a mighty Empire, but should not remain as beasts so long as he could help it.

DEAR Hilda:
Let me begin by sending you both, in the name of my sisters too, heartfelt wishes of happiness on the birth of your second son. We hope from our hearts that he may become just such a sweet, healthy little fellow as his brother, who will grow in time into a fine man, and make you both right proud.
How does our little friend act under his new dignity of big brother? Does he not want to play with Alfred right away? The little one is too eager, is it not true?
A May child! De Genestet has written such a beautiful poem about that; the ending is sad but I fervently hope that the prayer of the poet in the last two couplets may be fulfilled for your May child. Although naturally you know the lines yourself, I cannot help repeating them again here:
* ↑ To Mevrouwde Booij-Boissevain.
* ↑  "May the God of springtime spread, Roses before your feet, May the God of love lead and Keep you gentle, true and good! Bloom in your father's garden, Bloom at your mother's side, The loveliest flower on earth to them, Thou little blossom of May!"
# Letters of a Javanese princess/Chapter 16

31st January 1901.
I TURN my face pensively to the far away, staring into the blue light, as though I expected to find there an answer to the tumultuous questions of my soul. My eyes follow the clouds as they journey through the vast heavens till they disappear behind the waving green leaves of the cocoanut trees. I see the glistening leaves painted with the gold of the sun, and suddenly the thought comes, "Ask them why does the sun shine? What sends his rays? my sun, my golden sun! I shall strive to live so that I may be worthy to be shone upon, and tended and warmed by your light."
Do not be distressed dear, if things do not go as I would have them. My life shall not have been in vain: there is always something to be done. I will have it so! Those who seek God do not live in vain—and whosoever seeketh after God will find happiness, truth and peace of soul—and these are to be found at Modjowarno as well. Who knows? perhaps there sooner than somewhere else. Never be discouraged; never be dismayed! We are only thankful that in any event a beginning has been made, that the foundations of our freedom and independence are being built.
* ↑ To Mevrouw Abendanon.
* ↑ In the Residency of Soerabaja. The most important as well as the oldest mission station in Java. It includes schools and hospitals. A medical missionary at Modjowamo had ofifered to train Kartini as a mid-wife, if her plan of going to Holland should fail.

Nothing is impossible in this world. What we look upon today as an impossibility, tomorrow may be an accomplished fact.
There is a restlessness in our native civilization, the spirit of progress is moving among us. It is strongly combated by the inherent love which the Javanese has for the ancient "laws." There will be a hard fight before these hoary ideas and customs shall be deeply buried in the ground, never again to rise.
