Letter from Gerard Manley Hopkins (University College, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin) to Alexander William Mowbray Baillie, discussing Baillie's and [Gaston] Maspero's opinion on the etymology of a Greek word; the origin of the name 'Aphrodite'; the history of 'heathen religions' and gods; the lineage of Epaphus; his health; and a song he has written.
