Additional Comments:
Several locations are given for reading this text so I have been unable to fill out box 8. I have not transcribed all the MS notes. There is a letter laid in from Henry Jackson, Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, dated 1 Dec 1903 recommending certain passages of Plato not strictly philosophical and MS note in hand of GOT refers to a later letter from Jackson recommending more passages (June 7 1915). A letter laid in from Jackson to GOT's daughter Pauline refers to the first.
