Believes that as he has received no proofs of his first chapter there is no urgency on sending his second. Is planning to take a vacation in Italy for six months and would like to defer sending the second chapter until after that. Includes note from JRT confirming that more time would be allowed.

Writes to inform that the first chapter for CMH will be delayed. The Norwegian Government required HK's services for the negotiations needed to settle the Greenland conflict with Denmark and does not now have the time available to finish the piece. Asks if it should be 'machine copied' when it is finally finished and apologises for his poor English.

Gives effusive thanks for the offer of writing for CMH.

Gives thanks for letters. Would like to think that after two more years of hard work would be able to contribute to CMH. Discusses scholarship possibilites and research subjects. Hopes to concentrate on 15th century history.

Reports on progress of research for piece for CMH. Has met Margaret Deanesly and A. Tilley. Is also keen to see the chapter on Universities by the Dean of Carlisle. Is interested in writing a book for Cambridge University Press on Medieval Schools and Universities.

Gives thanks for references supplied in last letter.

Knows of no one who could undertake work on medieval theology in Cambridge as this is a subject long slighted by Cambridge Universities. Suggests two other historians from elswhere.

Has to refuse the offer of contributing to CMH as the work would interfere with his studies to become a Benedictine monk.

Cannot give a definite answer to the offer of contributing to CMH as is in the process of becoming a Benedictine monk and the ultimate answer will have to come from the Abbot.

Thought that Volume VII of CMH was still along way in the future but is pleased to write a chapter on Edward III and Richard II as agreed. Has changed her specialism recently to that of social and economic history so if there were chapters on this aspect she would be happy to write them. Asks for information regarding the scope of the chapter.
