Concerning a meeting at the Society, Murray is 'so glad to hear that His Excellency, the Greek Minister has consented to take the Chair'. 'My lecture on Hellenism will be practically the same as that which I gave on January 21st to the Royal Institution, [.] I hardly think you will wish to print it again, [.] I did not know when accepting your invitation that you proposed to publish the lecture afterwards. My intention is to develop the substance of it later on into a small book.'.
