22 August 1922  The Plat  Elsted

Dear Professor:

I have just received today a letter from a Mr. Sprott telling me, to my surprise, that he arranged with you last July to lecture at Cambridge next autumn and asking me if I could arrange some public lectures for you to give in London.  It would be wonderful to know that you were lecturing in England, but I must first inquire of you about the authenticity of the man, for perhaps he is nothing but a lecture agent.  I know nothing about him.  I should be glad to get your views on the matter.  There would of course be plenty of people in London who would like to hear you, but I do not know if you would care to give a series of lectures merely arranged from within, without any University invitation.

I hope you got my letters at Gastein and one written to Berchtesgaden and trust that you have recovered from the fatigues of the «MDUL»Kur«MDNM» [spa].

yours affectionately  Ernest Jones
