Scope and content

Replies to her request for information [about the French translations of the third edition of Frazer's 'Golden Bough']; he has looked at proofs of 'Le dieu qui meurt'; he gave the first volume of 'Balder le magnifique' to Geuthner in 1928, and the second volume is ready to be sent when he wants it; the first volume of 'Esprits des blés et des bois' is ready, but no date for publication has ever been mentioned; the rhythm of publication has slowed despite his reminders; the two volumes of 'Balder' are available to be published next; he can't compile an index while also working on proofs; he worked on one book in 1928 that appeared without his name on the cover as translator, [typical?] of French publishers; he has no interest in defending Geuthner.

Accompanied by an envelope originally from Macmillan to Frazer, with 'Sayn, 4 March 1930' written in Lady Frazer's hand.
